Actually, I think you're just confusing Sugar and OLPC.  Sugar is a
separate project to OLPC.  OLPC is a downstream technical user of
Sugar, and includes it in operating system releases.

If you are referring to the OLPC Wiki, then Sugar 0.98 was in the
latest stable releases 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, and Sugar 0.103 is in the
upcoming 14.1.0.

None of the OLPC releases have Sugar 0.100 and 0.102.

However, Sugar 0.100, 0.102 and 0.103 can be applied as an upgrade by
someone with technical experience.  (i.e. upgrade packages).

I recommend the latest Sugar version.  If you don't have the resources
or experience to deploy at scale, then use whatever is available.

Both.

Sugar need not be purchased, it is open source.  If you'd like to pay
for support, there are people who can provide it for a fee.

All of them.

(p.s. no such thing as XO 1.0, it is an XO-1)
