> whereas the "extended" version contains additional hardware

So, whatever this additional hardware might be, I doubt that iRex could afford giving it away for free.

So they have exactly these options:

1) scrap the additional hardware -> nobody wins
2) provide us* with a free (as in beer) SDK and non-free additional Hardware
3) provide us* with a free (as in beer) SDK and a non-free pro-SDK containing this additional hardware and additional support and stuff
4) provide us* only with a non-free pro-SDK

If the free (as in beer) SDK is usable I don't see a problem in them choosing option 3.
