Depending on when you asked them, the answer may have been accurate.

At one time, when Connect was still DECUS, you could get an associate
membership in DECUS US for free which allowed you access to the hobbyist
program and this is what I did.

When Connect was formed, the ability to get licenses for free through
Connect was dropped.

Over the last few weeks, DECUServe has become a new way to be able to
obtain a hobbyist license.
