ListProc 6.x is free; 7.x and the new 8.x versions are *not* free.
Moreover, CREN (the developers) does not recommend the use of the
6.x version, nor do they support it.
ListProc *is*, however, substantially cheaper than ListServ. Though
it is not as feature-packed, CREN is very responsive to user input,
and they are upgrading it pretty regularly. Overall, it provides more
bang for the buck than ListServ, especially for those sites with
limited buck$.

Note: I have no association with CREN, except that my mailing list
happens to be hosted on a ListProc. Just another happy user. :-)
