- <h1>Licensing Guidelines</h1>
-
- Licensing in nutshell:
- <ul>
- <li>Free for learning, development and testing</li>
- <li>Commercial license is required for production environment</li>
- <li>For distributing IT Mill Toolkit as a part of your own
- product, either purchase suitable commercial deployment licenses or
- contact us for OEM-license tailored for your needs.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h3>Free use</h3>
-
- <p>Application development is complitely free. Furthermore, you can deploy
- the developed application for testing and validation at the development time.</p>
-
- <h3>Commercial use</h3>
-
- <p>A commercial license must be obtained for production use of the
- applications that use IT Mill Toolkit libraries.</p>
-
- <p>A deployment license is required for each deployed copy of a program
- that uses Toolkit library. To be more exact, each Java Virtual
- Machine (JVM) that runs a program that uses IT Mill Toolkit libraries, must have an
- unique deployment license. For example, if the program is
- deployed to multiple servers (for load balancing or other reasons), each
- server needs an unique license.</p>
-
- <p>If the number of server installations is so high that separate deployment
- licenses are not an option, please contact <a href="http://www.itmill.com/">sales</a>
- to hear about OEM licensing options.</p>
-
- <h2>Purchasing Commercial License</h2>
-
- <p>Deployment licenses can be purchased online from <a
- href="http://www.itmill.com/">IT Mill Ltd</a>.</p>
-
- <p>If you are interested in OEM-license for your product, please
- contact sales at <a href="http://www.itmill.com/">IT Mill Ltd</a>.</p>
-
- <h2>License terms</h2>
-
- <p>The actual legal license text is in <a href="license.pdf">license.pdf</a>.</p>
-
- <h2>License files</h2>
-
- <p>Technically license is stored as itmill-toolkit-license.xml -file, that is usually
- store in WEB-INF -directory of the web-application. The license file
- contains information about the scope and limitations of the license in fairly readable
- form, so you might want to check the file contents. Toolkit package is shipped with
- unlimited license for development and testing purposes.</p>
-
- <p>Free unlimited development license <a href="lib/itmill-toolkit-license.xml">
- license-file</a> is included in product package in
- lib -directory</p>
-
- <h2>Open Source Edition</h2>
-
- <p>The previous version 3 of the product was called Millstone User Interface Library.
- Millstone library was licensed with very liberal LGPL-license. The latest free release of
- Millstone User Interface Library (version 3.1) can still be found from sourceforge.</p>
-
- <p>The new version 4 of the library, now called IT Mill Toolkit, is not licensed with
- an open source license. This does not mean that the sources are closed, source code is
- included in the product package for your convenience. </p>
-
- <p>Why did we change the license? Putting a clear transparent pricing model on the
- product makes our customers decision-making easier. They know how much they are
- paying for and that they can expect commercial grade quality product for their money.</p>
-
- <h2>Educational use</h2>
-
- <p>If you want to use the IT Mill Toolkit for teaching programming, web
- development or user interface design, you can apply for educational
- license by contacting sales at <a href="http://www.itmill.com/">IT
- Mill Ltd</a>.</p>
