They're all covered by licenses. And are available for hobbyists,
but again, only for use with the Supnik emulator. So, as you said,
that doesn't help people with real iron.

V5, V6 and V6 are available from the same site as the Supnik
emulators, and I don't believe the licenses accompanying them
are as strict... and yes, the license for them is only $100.
