Personally I would not use it on production web sites that clients are
paying $$$ for if a license forces their site to link back home, or anything
else visual for that matter.  When my client asks me, "What is that link on
there?  I don't like it, take it off." I want to be able to say "Yes sir,
Mr. client sir!" instead of having to explain that the calendar is free but
a license restriction requires it.  Perhaps a requirement to have an HTML
comment with the name and URL would be more reasonable.  If another
developer likes the calendar they can peek at the source code to get the
info, while I can keep my client's sites free of non-functional clutter that
they might have issues with.
