    Default What are the usage limitations of Community Edition

    Under which conditions can I use Community Edition? I'm interested with Community Edition as it is free and open-source. However, I'm not sure about the conditions to use this edition.

    I try to understand which kind of business I can develop around that.

    a) Can I host servers and provide Community Edition to my customers?
    b) I have seen some info about "Sugar Appliance". Can I install Community Edition on Linux and sell as appliance?
    c) Can I give free usage right if my customer purchase another service (like web hosting)?

    Thanks for replies.

    Yes he can. He can't prevent though if then the buyer of the appliance is copying it and sells it to somebody else. If it is a hosted solution not even the souce code must be provided. I think the guys from Intelestream are using this loophole.
