After the one year, the software costs $995 per year ("The board includes a 1 Year Libero Design Software Gold License worth $995!"). Not really a good deal for a beginner.

You buy a new board every year for $113 to extend the license. My point remains, its by far the most powerful FPGA for $113 and good for beginners.
