Licensing Question

Hi all,

I have read through the license agreement for SJSAS 9 and I am more confused than when I started. Is the SJSAS free for commercial use? I would like to use it to host several small, publicly visible applications that would allow me to capture customer data and some other tasks specific to each site.

I read the following, which leads me to believe that I can do this.

1. You may reproduce and use the Software for

Individual,Commercial, Service

Provider and Research and Instructional Use only for

the purposes of designing,

developing, testing, andrunning Your applets and

application ("Programs").

However, later in the agreement it mentions internal commercial use. So, does anyone know if the agreement is for both internal and external applications or just internal use only?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

SJSAS 9 is absolutely FREE for commercial use regardless of deployment scenarios, i.e external or internal.

In fact the term 'commercial' is removed from CDDL license altogether, see:

http://www.sun.com/cddl/CDDL_why_details.html

Eliminated the definition of 揅ommercial Use? This term was thought to be misleading, since software may be distributed for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, and we didn't want anyone to see the definition and conclude that the license makes a distinction between commercial and non-commercial use. Since this definition was only used in one place (2.2(c)), we simply eliminated the definition, and embedded the descriptive text in the place where the definition had been used.
