The announcement blog post implies otherwise:

> It places the focus value not on our super-secret-source-code but on our handling of the hosting, billing, and maintenance of that source code.

Sorry if it wasn't clear in the post but we do plan on charging for Hound in some way.

"We intend to charge in the near future to ensure Hound is sustainable, but public projects will continue to be free."

I don't expect this to be free. My point is that pricing should be clearly stated on the landing page for the product. You should have a pricing link or header, even if it just says "free for now, we're working on pricing".

Got it, thanks for the input.
