For clarity on licensing: The Cognition Framework is LGPL.
The Cognition Modeler, the Eclipse plug-in, is currently an evaluation while we're working out the kinks so use it to your hearts content. Once final, we will license it most likely similar to JIRA - having a free Community edition and a Professional / Enterprise version with some added features and / or support. I'll save my opinions on it, ;) but my recommendation is just to use it and find out for yourself. If you think it has merit, potential or find it saves you some time and headache, great. It is not without it's quirks, but has some cool features and approaches to both serve as an IDE for Tapestry 4+, and to easily hook it up with Spring and Hibernate. If you think it needs improvement, start contributing - it will not grow without community support and involvement. We've received some great response internationally (just through the Tapestry list even) and are working on projects to help fund and support it's ongoing development.
