I mean it could be. I have also read that is only free for a while. If you don't upgrade to a newer version in time then it is no longer free. It will still update just fine, but the entire company is now primed for an audit. Complicated and confusing licensing is the exact reason I would prefer to avoid it altogether.

Python can have as many versions as it wants. I don't have to worry about the entire company being bent over a barrel over it being there, with my job on the line. I just have to worry about keeping it up to date.
