The Linux Foundation announces
2014 was a big year for us in training. We launched a new ground-breaking certification program and released our wildly successful "Introduction to Linux" edX MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), which had roughly 300,000 enrollees.
To build on that, we're excited to announce our first-ever self-paced course that builds on the MOOC and prepares candidates for the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified SysAdmin) exam: "Essentials of System Administration."
[...]we've included a discounted LFCS exam with the course fee. [...] for a limited time, we're offering this course and certification bundle for $499--an additional $100 discount.

It sucks when valid empirical data is down-modded.
It's been a tried-and-true method for generations to put some small price on things you want to get rid of (e.g. The Recycler).
You can always waive the cost if the guy shows up with a good joke or whatever.
Your $20 idea for this course also seems quite logical.

Why do you think they want to "get rid of" this course?
The downmods are appropriate because dude is failing at analogy - there is nothing to "get rid of" it's a bunch of files on a webserver.
All that putting a price on it does is make it inaccessible to the people for whom $20 is prohibitive.
