Given the way that the popular press mangles virtually every story,
particularly stories with any sort of technical content, the odds
are that Jack accurately described the educational licensing
procedure (which, for all practical purposes, was indeed free)
and then the reporter "simplified" the statement for the story,
damaging the meaning in the process.  Have you ever been involved
in an actual "news event" and then seen how the event gets
reported?  Science fiction, man.
