No it won't.  The free version will always be available.  The purpose of
Bacula Systems is to provide paid, *supported* Bacula solutions for
enterprise users who ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE that anything they use be
formally supported.  This is a direct parallel to the business model of
Cygnus Solutions, arguably the first successful open-source-based
company, which was in the business of providing paid, *fully supported*
custom ports of the entire GNU development toolchain (gcc, binutils, gdb
etc) to customer architectures.  This did not cause gcc to die.

Trust me on this:  The sky is not falling.

I personally can't help you with that, not having done it myself, but
one or another of the other Bacula folks who monitor this list should be
able to tell you how to do it.
