This is stupid. They're still going to be making the linux product. They're still going to be offering a free version. Just not free on Linux. I can't see how it's related to support costs as you don't get support with the free version, instead you're going to be funneled to the forums which have never really provided me useful answers.
I use the free linux version every day for my hobby projects and I need Linux around since the software component running on the ARM cores sure isn't windows.
I work in the ASIC industry but doing this hobby work has put me in a position where I could do something professional if I wanted. Now I'll just move on to another company's products. Lattice or Altera. Something I never would have considered before.
