Flex is client side technology. Guess what - the "client" for CF, which would be you running CF on your own machine, is also free. Shoot, as it stands, CF is "more" free as you don't have to be a student to run it on your own machine for nothing.
Now your argument stating that you would only learn it if you could host it - I'm not sure I'd say thats a common belief - but you have to pay for PHP hosting as well.
