WhatsUp Gold Replacement

[Tia Haenni]

I suggest you read the license agreement carefully before deiciding that they need to buy it. From 
the bb web site:

Non-Commercial Use

<snip>Commercial purpose includes any activity engaged for the purpose of directly generating 
revenues including the sale of the product, use of the product to provide a service or in support 
of a service for which you charge. 

In other words, only if you use Big Brother in the direct pursuit of revenue, do you need to 
purchase a license.
