Hi silba - I'd advise you to wait until v3 is finished. When it is finished then I will be making a trial version for it and that trial version will be available for anybody to download without any purchase to test with.
Beta versions are different than trials - my policy for beta versions so far has been that it is available for previous owners to download during the beta period. That's because otherwise if every single beta release was just totally open for anyone to download that would mean that there would always be a free version available to use.
That there happens to be an OSX version that you are unable to try out without already owning a license is just a temporary situation - once the final v3 is released then there will be a trial version available for people to test with before purchasing.
So if you don't want to purchase any license you will still be able to try it, you'll just need to wait until it is out of beta. That will probably be sometime late next year.
- Michael
