I am a fairly new client to this open ID. To me it seems contradicting. It says you can sign up for free and receive an ID which I did then it told me I needed to spend $25 for this open ID..My question becomes is it free or do I have to pay the money because am unemployed and just started this business where I have not made money and or can I do an advance until my business starts to flow..if you can assist me I will gratefully appreciate it. “GOD BLESS”….

The $25 is for joining the OpenID Foundation.
You can get your OpenID enabled account from many providers for free. e.g, Google, Yahoo!, AOL, etc.
