Umm, yes, and about a week later there was this post...

Neither of which I suspect help Alessandro all that much. However, if
he's going to be running REBOL on more than five machines in his
company then it seems pretty certain a license fee will need to be
paid to cover them. If it's five or less though then he's left up in
the air by the suggestion that it may become free for commercial use
when it's on five or less computers. Be annoying to buy a license
one week and then find out it's become free the next, right?
Either way, he needs to ask RT about it considering the current
(publicly known) pricing scheme, but if it's five or less and they
say he still has to pay he should at least get a guarantee from them
that it's not going to be made free for commercial use in the near
future.
