They currently do not offer a program with "a suitable pricing for personal use" but also state that they are "exploring alternatives". (Whatever both those things mean exactly.) In the meantime they suggest to use "minipli's 4.9 unofficial fork", which is not an attractive option for me. For the time I stick with the upstream kernel and hope that they finally start caring more about security. The Kernel Self Protection Project might be a start, but I doubt that it will be able to change the current policy when it comes to features which potentially reduce the general usability of the kernel.
