I've never used WebEx, but just going to the web page, I see I can
sign up for a 14-day trial. Then I presumably have to pay $$. Or,
someone has to pay to run the server, and then there is some limited
number of clients that can connect.

Can someone explain please explain the licensing model with WebEx? And
how use of this technology by the IETF will preserve the expected
openness where everyone/anyone can participate?
