<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>
