This is one of the reasons we are starting to look at Juniper for a new network build. It is my understanding we set software updates for life for free.
My understanding is that it's free for customers who have a service contract in place. Most downloads are not self-service, and I haven't tested if you can get JTAC to provide images for devices you don't own.
Brocade is now offering 5 years (what they consider lifetime) support to the original purchaser of the equipment on some product lines: FastIron SX800, SX1600, CX, WS, and TurboIron that includes software updates. We use a lot of the FCX units.
