I suggest that you place absolutely NO reliance on such a non sequitur.
Undoubtedly ORCA/C customers will be provided the opportunity to upgrade
to a new release, as has been true for ByteWorks products in the past.
Note, however, that there is no reason to expect that a nominal fee may
not be required.  The reason the ORCA/C 1.1 upgrade was free was that
ORCA/C 1.0 was simply too buggy to use, and it would have been infair to
charge customers additionally for the upgrade to a usable version.

I suspect bug reporters will get free upgrades via downloads from their
accounts on information services, as a reward for helping improve the
product.  We'll see..
