Adobe offers free Flex 3 license to unemployed developers
Flex Builder Pro 3 is normally $699 to purchase, so this is a pretty generous offer. Yes, Adobe have their own ulterior motives - if you become skilled with Flex, you may land a job somewhere and your employer will need to spring for a license. Who knows, it could lead to some killer new Flex app being developed, and then Adobe wins again because the platform gets a boost.
Whatever the motivation, it's still a nice gesture and could definitely provide jobless developers with a new skill that may just help them find employment again.

Can I get this if I am unemployed but not a developer or anything?

Depends on how you define "developer"

You don't have to be a developer to get it.

It's been a common practice of the larger IDE makers for years now, good to see Adobe on board with it.

Bait and switch! Bait and switch!
Here's what they have to say about the "Free" Flex
"Thank you for your interest in the program for unemployed developers. We have received over 15,000 requests for participation in the program, so we are currently not able to accept new enrollees. We encourage you to take advantage of the trial version of Flex Builder 3"
What a jip.
