DB Academy Courseware not accessible in newly available Free Edition

[HappySK]

I have been following courses in Databricks Partner Academy, and I have got course materials which includes Databricks Notebooks too, while they are executed successfully in Databricks community edition, they are not accessible when we are executing the same Databricks notebooks in the Free Edition

Steps to Reproduce the issue

1. Login to Databricks Free Edition
2. Import the attached DBC file
3. Execute the notebook named DE 0.01 - Spark SQL
4. Execute the Cell 3

Following the above steps will throw an error - Configuration dbacademy.deprecation.logging is not available. SQLSTATE: 42K0I

DE 0 - Intro to PySpark.zip

Same issue

Same for me.
Inspecting the code, the problem seems to be related to the spark.conf.get() method, which is declared as follows in the doc:

get(self, key: str, default: Union[str, NoneType, pyspark._globals._NoValueType] = <no value>) -> Optional[str]

However, testing the method clearly shows that it is raising an exception instead of returning the default value for the missing key.
