I'm slightly confused because EGL isn't particularly relevant to the 
work that I do, but wasn't EGL "free" for a fairly significant 
length of time in WDSC before the unbundling?

E.g.:

What I'm confused about are various concerns about having to 'pay to 
learn'. That is certainly a concern going into the future, but my 
versions of WDSC for my home setup as well as an install at work 
aren't likely to "wear out" any time soon.

Was EGL in there somewhere in standard WDSC or not?
