You had me until the "Pricing" section.

The Old Way - Varies, depends on many factors. Requires ongoing investments, hiring developers or integrators

The New Way - GPLv2 license: FREE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE / Commercial License: CONTACT US

So with Mongoose OS, you don't have to invest, or hire developers? Am I being unfair by thinking that, while the other points make life easier, this is scraping the barrel a bit?

Why not just say "and the price which gets you all of these advantages is.." ?

Are you annoyed that they're selling commercial exceptions to the GPL or that they're not listing the price on the page?

The latter. Just give me an idea of the order of magnitude of the price. Is a commercial license closer to $1000 or $100,000?
