Are you sure about table.tex? There is no file by that name in the
context distribution, and the only *table* files in the tetex
distribution that I could find are latex-related.
Hans has written several more sophisticated ways of doing tables since
context used the third-party table support.
As to Lucida fonts, yes, the Lucida fonts are commercial, but that has
nothing to do with context per se. Any document (latex, plain,
whatever) that uses those fonts won't compile on my system, since I
haven't bought the fonts. It's not a ConTeXt-specific issue.
