Hi, just to clarify this, does that mean there are differences between the free version release and the paid version release? Until now I wasn't even aware the latter existed. If so, is it possible to learn what those differences are? Also, are the benefits of support subscription listed anywhere (specifically for JBoss Rules)? I tried to find it on the web site but all I could find was the generic JBoss subscription page, which isn't very informative.
