Hi,

I heard that the licence for ActivePython community edition has been changed recently and ActiveState doesn't allow using it for creating commercial applications. Is it true?

If it is, was this changed made for ActivePerl also?

Thank you.

Octavian

The term "for commercial use" has many meanings and is wide open to
interpretation.

For the purposes of our distributions, ActiveState Community Editions
come with a license that enables you to develop and deploy applications
for your own personal use and for organizations' internal use for
internal business operations purposes.

Please review complete terms in which the software may be copied,
modified, distributed and/or redistributed.
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/license-agreement

To deploy an application for external users, an OEM license is required
from ActiveState Software, which was the case with the previous license
(wrapping tool exclusions remain, again see license for details).

This new license allows us to use the same license across all of our CE
distributions, where previously we had a separate license for each
language distribution.

I'd appreciate if you could forward this to where you heard the concern
about ActivePython as well, or let us know and we'll clarify directly.
If you have more detailed questions specific to your application, please
feel free to email us at support@.
