I'm sorry. I have IBM Lotus Symphony 3.0 with fixpack 2 installed on my 
computer and I didn't pay anyone for it.

It is free to download.  Registration required.  That's it.  

If I want support, that is different.  Not much different than with Sun Star 
Office and Oracle Office, actually.

True, they have not offered me the source code.  But still, free as in free 
beer was enough for my purposes.

Wrong. OOo, TDF/LO, etc may be making a public release. IBM, for example, may 
not.

They are only releasing to people who _pay them_ for the product. _ONLY_ those 
people (the ones they specifically distributed the product to) are required to 
be able to receive it - not necessarily the developer they drew the code from.
