Ahhh...
- on the formal release date, all client and server code will be 
available, GPL (or other open source license) for download by anyone
- the $25 also provides an account on our server, plus an identity cert 
generated by us
- anybody will be completely free to download and install the server 
component on their own server (for personal use, organizational use, or 
to set up as a service provider) - and we hope that lots of people will 
do so
- anybody will be free to generate their own self-certified identity 
cert. and/or go to someone like Verisign

Before that, we'll actively distribute alpha and beta code to 
contributors (we're hoping to attract testers and developers) - we'll be 
providing access to our server and certs to contributors, and 
contributors will be free to further distribute all source and binary 
code - it's just that we won't be broadly distributing from our own 
repository until formal release.

I hope this clarifies things.
