components GPL License? If a company offers an Ajax web component released Free for non-commercial use under the GPLv3 license, can the product be used free under the following criteria:
1. The website/it's source is not distributed.
2. The site is on a business's Intranet and is not available to the public.
3. The site is for internal communications and does not generate revenue.
4. The module will not be modified in any way.
I have read varying opinions stating that if the code is not distributed, then having the GPL licence in the header fulfills the terms. Others state that "Commercial" indicates "Makes Money" as opposed to "Business Related" (but isn't all business activities geared towards making money?). All points of view welcomed. Professionals or experience-based answers appreciated.
