Hi everyone,

I have some questions regarding licensing.  I noticed that Roller 5.1.2 is
"Licensed under Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Generic
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/>".  Following the
provided link to understand further about commercial purposes didn't help.
I then followed "More info" which:

"CC's NonCommercial (NC) licenses prohibit uses that are "primarily
intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary
compensation." ....   If you are unsure, you should either contact the
rights holder for clarification, or search for works that permit commercial
uses." [1]

So here are my questions:

*)  If I use the software for my company for blogs created by any employee
of the company available freely for anyone to read but only certain
registered users are permitted to comment, am I permitted to use it under
the CC NC license?
*)  If my company is hosting company, can I charge my customers to setup
this software and for all its maintenance (patches, upgrades, database
backup)?

Thanks,
Tommy
