Do you have to pay a fee in order to use LUA in a commercial game?

I''m considering using Lua as the script language for a MMORPG server.
I''d like to code NPC''s AI with it, mainly.
However, the most recent Lua version still doesn''t support concurrent scripts.
That''s certainly something I need, since a server would control over 10.000 NPCs. It''d also make scripting much easier, as I would be able to have blocking functions such as "PromptPlayer".
The missing functionality I feel in Lua is a lua_run_chuck( unsigned char *chuck, unsigned long checksize, lua_State *L, unsigned long maxinstructions ) function, to limit the amount of instructions that a script can execute at once.
I couldn''t find any solution to this problem searching the web.
Can anyone here enlighten me? Or even confirm me that Lua isn''t for my project.
