That would've been my second question. Very good to know!
I did read through their FAQs, and it seems to suggest that non-production use only. My real concern is that, being a LAN admin, and in a company with few resources to always stay 100% up with MS Windows OSs, having a non-production environment (at home), which I can use to test and compare, would allow me to learn the software to prepare to implement it in a corporate environment, at which point in time, my company would purchase the required software licenses, CALs, etc.
I discussed with my co-workers, and after some deliberation, we can't see that being in violation as I would not be using it for financial gain, just personal learning/testing in a home environment. If I started to sell photos that I stored on that network, then I would figure I would be in violation of their rules, AFAICT. If someone has better information that this, please let me know. I am quite sure my company would fit the bill if it allows me to use things like server 2008, and bring back advances that would be worth implementing.
