+.. note:: Starting with VyOS 1.2 the developers have decided to change their
+ release model. VyOS is now **free as in speech, but not as in beer**, meaning
+ that while VyOS is still an open source project, the release ISO's are no

+ the community. Since the source code is still public you can build your own
+ ISO using the process described here.
