Razor - http://razor.sourceforge.net/docs/doc.php?type=text&name=SERVICE_POLICY Ask for clarification from the cloudmark folks on razor users. Their license changed a long time ago, and it isn't well defined. Basically, it looks like you have to pay if you fall in either of these categories: 1) reseller of appliances using razor 2) high volume user, where high volume is decided by cloudmark. DCC - http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/dcc-tree/LICENSE DCC changed more recently, largely due to there being a patent on a good chunk of DCC's fundamental concepts. On the plus side, they worked out a licensing deal that's free for most people. Basically, it looks like you have to pay if you do any of the following: 1) resell security or spam appliances using DCC 2) resell security or spam services using DCC 3) maintain a private DCC server that does not participate in flood exchange with the global network.
