==Open Source and Commerce==

SME is Open Source and free to install and download (but not free to build). Most installations simply work out of the box, but sometimes you need a little help. The forums are a great place to ask for help. Next to the forums, there are various companies that provide commercial support for the more complex tasks or if the former sysadmin has left the building. Below you find a list of companies/persons that can assist you with your SME Server on a commercial basis. They provide services, consultancy, remote assistance and advice.

So while you are using Open Source software, you may combine it with commercial services, but you NEVER pay for SME Server by itself. That's the deal with Open Source licensed under any version of GPL.
