is Java cms MAGNOLIA free to use for commercial sites

Someone just told me to use MAGNOLIA

cms for java.

I just want to know that is it free to use for commercial sites.

I dont want to waste some time learn it and then i find that i need to spend money to use.

I read the website but could not found the diff between free and enterprise use.

as i don't know much java i was not able to find whether those paid features are required for many sites or not

The link you posted http://www.magnolia-cms.com/magnolia-cms/pricing.html may have changed its content since posting but currently it does NOT show the prices for the CMS .. just a list of "features" and a "contact us" button.
I have tried for an hour to find ANY mention of the price for Magnolia CMS and its hidden from View. The best I can find is "starts at $12,000" no mention where it ends. If they can't put down in an easy to find place a simple list of their prices I for one would steer clear of them. Cheers John
