License?

Can I use pieces of sugar such as the API in a totally new application that I want to release commercially(non-opensource)?

Yes, but you will need to retain the SugarCRM logo and links at the bottom centre of the screen.

And any code you add to an existing module (as opposed to being in a new module) you will need to offer back to the open source project.

The SPL (Sugar Public License) is posted on the SugarCRM site.

Right now, I would like to use the dash board feature into an app. I was designing a similar feature and saw that Sugar did what I needed. I do not need to change this object since it does what I need, so will I be able to use this opensource object in a commercial app? The dash board is flash which is good since my app will be done in .NET

My understanding is that if you use any of this project's code - you need to have the Powered by SugarCRM logo on all screens, of the specific size, bottom center of the screen, plus the copyright statement, plus the two hyperlinks.
