Not sure what you mean by some of this? A number of these questions/statements are covered in the announcement.

I hope that clarifies any confusion on pricing and plans for an official license.
As to your other post...

Will this feature be available without any additional addon's or costs (initially at least, obviously other source books such as SCAG will likely be additional costs)?

The SRD is a subset of the overall suite of D&D rulebooks, so there will be content included in the PHB but not included in the SRD. However, once thing that makes Hero Lab unique is that the community can readily fill in those holes with the editor. Any data files created by the community are free.
