Dear Hector:

  Try shareware edition. I am not sure if it stops working
after 30-day trial. Maybe it will display some sort of a reminder
and still let you use it. This is what WinZip is doing. Why do not
you try?

In any case, the price for registration is not that high
for what you are getting. But if you like to use it for more
than 30 days, you are obliged to pay. This is what the license says.

BB is a commercial product. In Linux volunteers contribute
to the workload, and they get sth for free. In BB you get
a well done product that you did not have to contribute to.
This is worth the price. And remember, there are open source
products in the Oberon world, too. Think of OOC/Visual Oberon.
It is free, you get sources, it runs under Linux, and you will
get an opportunity to contribute to development.

(For the record: I am using the educational version, for which
I did not pay. This is to clarify my current position.)
