It is free but I believe the author has placed a non-commercial 
restriction on it, which makes it incompatible with a number of open 
licenses. It is written in Ada, and if you ask the author for the 
source, he will usually send it to you. Once I get it running on my 
AMD64, I'm planning to see if he'd be willing to go with a more 
compatible license. The web site is 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/ if you want to write to him.
