(c) License Limitations for Open Source Development: "(i) if Licensee has been granted a Software license for open source development, the purpose of use of the Software shall be restricted solely to development of non-commercial open source projects that meet the Open Source Definition at http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd. Any commercial use of a Software license for open source development is expressly prohibited;" Ok. So you can use it for other OSS (even projects that offer paid support, which was expressly forbidden in getting the initial license). You can however not use it for any commercial use. Just a heads up :) -Hannes
