I don't think developer edition was available for free until 2014 version:

We have one instance at the moment, so it definitely is/was. 🙂[/quote]
It wasn't.
It was free if you had MSDN subscription (or probably volume licensing too), otherwise it was a $10 purchase (supposed to have a license per developer). From 2014 onwards, it's free.[/quote]
$10? Strewth, I feel ripped off. I paid about £40 for it back in the day...
