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

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use?

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use (in this case, an image of a film reel is being used on a book cover)?

What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.

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

Music for commercial use?

Hello Folks,
I have been searching on the forum about music for commercial DVD and Video projects and the phrase that keeps coming up is:
"purchased music is not for commercial use".
Are there any Royalty Free music libraries available that CAN be used for commercial use?
NOT LOOPS, but actual regular mainstream music. Even if they have been re-recorded by other musicians in a studio that has the right to sell it as Royalty Free for commercial use in DVD and Video Projects.
Any suggestions or web links would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks!

I fully understand what you folks are saying.
What is confusing is that 100's of companies are doing business this way.
Here are just 2 examples of MANY websites that I found with the "same or very similar explanation" when it comes to using standard music:
http://www.momentos2dvd.com/faq.htm
http://www.slidesinmotion.com/sim/faqs.asp#q6
They all say something like this:
"Yes. We can incorporate your choice of music in your video so long as it is music you have purchased from a legitimate vendor for your own personal in-home use. Or we will purchase the music for you and give you the music CD when the job is completed"
Out of all these businesses, including some local businesses in my area, that are using music in their DVD presentations for weddings (to continue this example), it is hard for me to believe that "none of them" have consulted a lawyer to find out if this is legal. There are 100's of companies doing this.
How can this be possible? How is it that they don't get in trouble?

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.

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".

But I'm still interested to hear, if anyone already got some experience with one of those sites?
I mean, where do y all get your pictures from?
