The "non-commercial" Gemstone/S version is now a free *unrestricted* version
with a few technical limitations.  So yes, you could set up your e-commerce
site on a rackmount box, and use Gemstone for free for up to essentially 100
dynamic hits per second (whatever a single CPU can spit out).  Plenty enough
to make money to get to their $7000/year second-tier program.  And that's what
they're hoping.

Details at seaside.gemstone.com.
