I hate to have to ask, but will it have a cost, or be freely licensed? This
place won't spend money. Even to save money. Especially on the z.
Good question. The base product will be free with optional paid support,
so free as in beer unless you want to run it in production in which case
you will probably want support. The value add libraries like CICS etc are
likely to be licensed. The base will include heaps of goodies like web
frameworks etc so you should be able to cut some tasty code for free!
