Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use.?

Hi,
I know that this question have come up before but I can't find any
definitive answers. Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use. We
would like to host
several customers on a machine running VMWare ESXi. I want a clear answer so we can do it without any further discussion.
Thank you all in advance,
LNN

If you plan on renting out a VM, then you need to look at the hosting programs - http://www.vmware.com/solutions/hosting/index.html. The base EULA for ESX and ESXi do not allow for the rental of VMs but I believe it may be possible to get an exemption to that.
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1016993#1016993
VMware grants you a nonexclusive, non-transferable license, without rights to sublicense, to install or have installed a single instance of the Software and each Licensed Additional Module on a single Server, unless permitted to have multiple instances on a single Server or to have multiple instances on multiple Servers by the payment of applicable license fees (whether such fees are based on a per Processor, a per Virtual Machine, a per user or any other VMware approved licensing model); (ii) use the Software and each Licensed Additional Module solely for information processing and computing purposes, including the hosting of computer application-based services from a Virtual Machine and provision of such services via an internal or external network, provided such services may not consist of services to a third party that provide primarily computing or processing power (such as utility computing or grid computing) or any computer application-based service that is traded, rented, leased or sold on a Virtual Machine basis; and (iii) use and reproduce the VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client Software or VMware WebAccess (in object code form only) for the purposes of installation and operation on an unlimited number of your own internal computers or terminals solely for the purpose of accessing the Server on which the Software is installed.

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?
Thank you very much.

Here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

GOOP Developer free of charge for commercial use

Hi All
Just to let everyone know that GOOP Developer Full Version 2.2 is now available for commercial use free of charge.
This is being offered as a gift to the LabVIEW Community. I am also willing to release the source code for GOOP Developer under the BSD Open Source License, if enough people are interested. There is some cool stuff in there which I'm happy to share.
Note that GOOP Developer uses scripting to achieve a lot of its wizardry, and now that LabVIEW scripting has been released by NI I can now disclose the scripting code under the hood.
Since GOOP Developer is an executable built with LabVIEW 7.1 I had to perform a few tricks to get the exe to command LabVIEW to do the operations necessary, as you are aware not every property or method that you can run in development mode can be performed by a LabVIEW exe. This is where the concept of agents came in, get your exe to run a vi in the development environment to do the sneaky work.
If any of you script junkies want to take a look at a few tricks, download GOOP Developer and have a look in the Agents folder. The password is "scigoop"
To download GOOP Developer 2.2 simply goto my site
www.sciware.com.au
BTW, all of my software is now free of charge.

Hi,
great tool, I'm impressed, thank you very much!
I had some trouble to get it work on LabVIEW 8.0.1 and found the solution
so I'd like to post it here:
If you're using LV 8.0.1 and get a message "Unable to retrieve all VI's in memory",
do the following: Go to the "Agents" subfolder and rename "8.0" to "8.0.1".
Now it should work perfectly.
I think this could also apply to LabVIEW 8.5.1 so anyone using 8.5.1 could try to rename
folder "8.5" to "8.5.1".

Use iMovie on iOS for Commercial Use

I am a real estate agent who wants to use the iOS version of imovie for home tours and publish them on my website. This would be consider commercial use and just wanted to konw if I will run into any trouble if I use iOS imovie in this manner. I did read over the licese and it seems I am not allowed to use any Audio content. But I just wondered if you are allowed to use the program to edit and for its texts and transitions for commercial purposes. I can always use the royal free music youtube provides for the music, but just wanted to see if I was ok with using it to create for commercial movies and clips...Thanks

Welcome to the club. :-)
The iPad is not as powerful as a Mac, and they cannot share software, as they have different operating systems.
There are two versions of iMovie available, one for Macs and an app for iPads. Their capabilities are different. Do your research. :-)

Are iMovie 10's songs and trailers made using their template available for commercial use?

I am wondering if these are allowed for commercial use. If I have a trailer that was made with iMovie 10's trailer template and contains a song from the iMovie 10 program, can I use this commercially?

I know I've heard some of those Jingles on promos companies play on PBS. I can't tell you the name of the one that comes up. Another time I've heard one on a pharmaceutical advert. But I cannot answer the legal question if you can use the canned jingles for commercial purposes. I don't know if the Apple End User License Agreement for iMovie covers commercial uses of the jingles.

How I claim my video to use my Adobe softwares for commercial use on Youtube?

Hi,
I would like make video tutorial on Youtube and I am enable for add advertising on my video with adsense. Basically, I need claim my video and say YouTube I can use my software for commercial use in my video. I need this help because Youtube is very strict for add advertising.
My question is what do I have to write for my video to claim I can use my softwares (Creative Suite Production PremiumCS5.5) in my video for a tutorial?
Here is the picture when I need claim my video on YouTube.
Thanks you

You are being asked if you have the rights to the content you are publishing. That is all.
If you are using Copywrite content it is not allowed unless you have the rights or a license to use it. For instance if you create music for the background is it your music, or someone elses? If it is someone else's, you cannot use it unless you have the right or license too do so. Your images are they open source or did you create them? Or did you rip them from the net? IF the latter you cannnot use.... Does not matter if you are using pirated, or stolen software (although frowned upon, and NOT recommned) to create your content
Hope that was clear.

Use Graphic style library for commercial use

Hi,
I just need to clarify if those images/background from the adobe illustrator library can be used as it is(without editing at all) for commercial purpose e.g... in games/ poster/advertisement?
Will there be copyright issues on the image or I have to do some editing to whats given by Ai before it can be used commercially?

I just need to clarify if those images/background from the adobe illustrator library can be used as it is
Yes.

Spry 1.6 for commercial use

Hi, Can I use the Spry 1.6 prerelease for commercial use?
Spry seems like
The BSD
license.
However,
the adobe labs
license claims
quote:
IF THE SOFTWARE IS A PRE-RELEASE VERSION, then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within a license
agreement accompanying the software, you are not permitted to use
or otherwise rely on the software for any commercial or production
purpose.
Does that means you cannot use Spry 1.6 for commercial use?
If so, can I get the non-prerelease older version (1.5 etc) from
somewhere?

Hi,
That is a little confusing.
We have been distributing Spry under the BSD license, meaning
to allow users to use the files as they please, commercial or
otherwise.
This is how it has been since the first version.
I can look into the disparity between these licenses but i
think you can feel assured that it is ok to use Spry for commercial
apps. Many people do so already.
The Spry team thinks of 'pre-release' as: "There is a small
chance that we might change functionality, due to bugs or better
implementation" but we are pretty stable now and the core ideas of
Spry are pretty solid.
Hope this helps,
Donald Booth

Premiere Elements for commercial use

Can I use Premiere Elements 12 for commercial use , like videos I make for training modules that I sell?
I looked in the EULA and buried in section 16.14 and 16.15 is reference to non-commercial use due to encoder patents. But nowhere is a straight forward yes or no for commercial use.
Thanks for anyone that knows about this

You are most welcome.
Going way back, Adobe once had a restriction on material produced with the academic versions (like Student & Teacher editions) of some of its programs. I do not recall the exact timing, but would say that they relaxed that restriction about 10 years ago.
Also, as Neale points out, the PrE Projects are not X-platform, but if one considers the Mac and the PC, they can output files (from the PrE Project) that ARE X-platform, for delivery. I am not exactly sure how you are referring to X-platform, but if the intent is to edit a Project between a Mac and a PC, then Neale's caveat will be very important. Though the Project file (PREL) looks the same (basically an XML database file), they are significantly different, that a PREL from a Mac, will not Open on a PC. For delivery of a finished AV file (your instructional video, in this case), if one selects say AVCHD (H.264 CODEC) for the output, that file will be viewable on both a Mac and a PC, so long as each computer has a viable version of the H.264 CODEC installed, and most will, or the user can add it. It's the same with most MOV files - so long as the PC has Apple's QuickTime Player installed. When you get to the point of delivery, do not hesitate to stop back, if you need a bit more input from the forum. Some of us have both a Mac and a PC (Steve Grisetti, for instance), but many more are tasked with X-platform delivery quite often.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Is it FREE for commercial use?

Dear all,
Has been using Skype for the past few years, and mostly for my personal usage.
Just to clarify something about Skype Licensing, is it FREE for commercial use? For example, I myself and my current/ex colleagues are using Skype for working related purposes, be it just texting or calls or video calls. Do we need to purchase licenses/subscription for commercial use? For your reference, we're from Malaysia.
Appreciate if anyone there care to explain on this matter.
Regards,
Edmund

I would start by looking at Oracle information - while we can provide hints and give guidance, Oracle is the only legal source for license information.
My suggestion in general is to use the Oracle site and the Oracle docs, and take a hard copy of that information as backup in case of legal challenges.
That said, the intent for XE is to provide a 'no license fee to put into production' version of Oracle Database Server. It has limited functionality (no Java in DB, limited storage and memory) so it is not generally a worry for Oracle. The supporting references are

Music on Sound Track Pro? Can we use this for commercial use?

Does anybody know what the license agreement for the music that comes on the Soundtrack Pro software? It says it's royalty free, but can I use this for commercial use?

Short answer is yes. Long answer is read the license agreement and call your lawyer with any questions.
A couple of years ago I noticed that there were some loops belonging to APM, and raised the issue with them. It's licensed to Apple and through Apple to you as an owner of the software. You can NOT repackage and sell the loops though, only use them in your productions.

Installed Adobe Fonts free for commercial use

Hello,
I want to ask if the fonts which will be installed on my system by installing the Creativ-Suite are free for commercial use?
Does anybody can help me?
Ralf

It depends on what you mean by “commercial use." If you plan to create an illustration or piece of art which uses the grass brush to create a grass pattern/texture as part of the image, the answer would be "yes." If you would like to repackage or distribute a brush as part of another product or application, the answer would be "no."
You can find out more by reading the license agreement for your product, found at http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas.

Oracle XE, is it really free for commercial use?

Hi All,
I have tried to read and understand the licensing terms of Oracle XE.
Still want to ask experts,
Is it free for commercial use?
If I develop a product and distribute Oracle XE packaged with my product, charging the customer for my product, but not paying anybody for XE, is that legal?
If I want to develop and use a in-house application in XE is that legal as well?
Thoughts please.
Thanks in advance
