Nor does it mean available apparently. Not unwilling to pay, not sure where you got that impression. We've also been in contact with their local representative who claims something along the lines of Altera only working with a few select partners on this, because they don't have the manpower to support the "product". Which is fine, but then don't publicly claim that it is "available".
