Some additional info on commercial versions here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#What-is-R_002dplus_003f None of this has any effect on your ability to use R in a commercial setting, though there are some CRAN packages that do have such limitations: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Can-I-use-R-for-commercial-purposes_003f > 2.

That is outside of the scope of R and is dependent upon the security of the computer system(s) and possibly networks, upon and over which R is running and where your data is stored and managed.
