Mandrake and the commercial license

[João Miguel Neves]

From the license:

In a production environment, such as a commercial company, it is highly
recommended that users purchase a Commercial License Agreement which
applies to all of the product components developed by MandrakeSoft.

This means that that license only applies to software developed by
MadrakeSoft (this is also restated later in the FAQ).

It's the same SuSE does with yast and other tools. I don't see anything
new or strange in here.
