Is ConTeXt free (open source) software?

Yes. See the license page for details. (Please add a link!)

Does context support unicode?

Yes. It supports Unicode (utf-8) input, with the \enableregime[utf] command. (This needs a bit of elaboration!)

Why does \startalignment[right] or \framed[align=right]{some text} align my text left instead of right and vice versa?

This is for backward compatibility with older versions; see Right and left. Hans was originally thinking of "ragged right" and "ragged left" alignment. Use flushleft and flushright instead.

What are the advantages of ConTeXt over LaTeX?

Someone thinks this entry needs some more explanation. (See: Needs Explanation?, To-Do List.)
