Ageia change PhysX license (now free for commercial use)

At present, the following two options are all that are available. We will likely never provide any sort of royalty-based license. Open-source usage is limited only to the most middleware-friendly license model--in other words, we retain full ownership and rights to our own IP, and what you ship of ours will still be specified by contract.
Free:
1)Commercial & non-commercial use on PC
2)Must keep registration information currect
3)Must agree to the EULA at the time of download (pops up, but is copied below)
4)Available for Windows & Linux (soon)
5)No PhysX HW support requirement
6)PS3 platform (through Sony pre-purchase)
7)All platforms through some of our middleware partnerships, such as UE3, Gamebryo 2.2, and others
$50k per platform:
1)Xbox 360
2)Fee may be waived at our discretion for multi-platform developers providing PC HW support
3)Fee may be waived at our discretion for some Tools & Middleware providers
