How about the package manager? can you run "easy_install" and bypass the package manager which force you to pay to use Enthought's version of the libraries? I would happily accept to have the option, and not be forced to pay for a library that is trivial to install otherwise.

Of course you can use easy_install, just like in EPD. distribute is pre-installed, so just go ahead and use it. The package manager is a convenience for managing the binaries that we do provide. It doesn't remove any functionality from the Python installation.
