Commercial use of Tomcat
Hello.
As a system developer I'm working for a small company which works with
design and development of homepages and hosting of webhotels.
We are talking about offering our customers the use of JSP and servlets on
our webservers. - But, can we use Tomcat as our JSP-server without a
(commercial) license?
I cannot find anything about this at the Tomcat homepage, so please inform
me about this situation. Do we have to pay?
It is only a few customers who will use this (less than 10 with maximum
30-40 request a day on average), so we do not make great demands on the
performance and such. - That also means we do not want to use a fortune on
this.
If it possible, of course, we want to make the 10 customers happy, - then we
become happy, and you also, because you get more customers ... :-)
And by the way - is it true that we can implement it with our IIS5 (Windows
2000 Prof. and Server)?
(Sorry my english)

Has anyone successfully used the EmbededTomact.java without throwing
security restrictions left and right? I cannot seem to get past the
java.security errors.

Brian:
Isn't Tomcat also released under the Apache license being that is part of the
Jakarta Project..? See below:
http://jakarta.apache.org/mission/index.html
Also there is a license file with the distro.

Hi there:
I think you can 'redistribute' it providing you follow the Apache Consortium
conditions stated in the license...At least that is what I gather from the
license... after all isn't that what Redhat, Suse, Caldera, Mandrake, etc.
do.....?
