It sounds just like Discreet's GMax offering. Free, but you can't export anything that'd be useful commercially without ponying up for plug-ins. It kinda makes sense, IMHO, because methinks the professional users either budget the $$ or get the license through an employer while IMHO the hottest 'market' for the so-called warez people are hobbyists, dabblers, and kiddies who just want an easy way to make porn.
