Again, that is simply wrong - well, it is easy to spread such nonsense.

Again wrong. The software is licensed under GPL/APGL, so you are allowed to use it for free.
You even get the complete source code!

Wow, those guys are really confused.

Anyways. If you want additional support from us, you have to pay.

If you just want to use proxmox ve software the usage costs are zero.

Well, I guess you should simply try and evaluate proxmox ve yourself.
