It's not free for an unlimited number of users. It's $99 for _one_ user. Here is an excerpt from http://www.informix.com/informix/press/1999/lnx0119.htm Informix Dynamic Server, Linux Edition Suite, $99 for 99 days Informix Dynamic Server, Linux Edition Suite is available from Red Hat, Informix TeleSales (1-800-331-1763) and Intraware (www.intraware.com/informix/) for a 30-day free trial through March 31, 1999. Details of the program, including how to attain the 30-day free e-mail support, can be found at the Informix Developers Network (www.informix.com/idn/).
