Ron I read it and came to the conclusion that I am not violating the license.  I am currently using licensed ClarkConnect, and squid and dansguardian were installed by default. Thank you.

I setup some businesses with gateways using squid and dansguardian to blanket block the internet, and then allowing access on a per ip basis or allow certain websites for the rest of the users. Is this possible on an alix board using a CF by taking of caching, but using the dansguardian? I have see others asking the same, but not seen any replies. Or can this be setup using rules? Thanks. Mark, No, the embedded platform does not work with packages. Further, squid is an extreme resource hog and would kill most Alix board resources even under fairly light load. Lastly, Dansguardian isn't licensed to be free for commercial use, so you may well be violating their license by installing it for businesses. -Gary Ok, I see I will have to reconsider my dansguardian usage. I see that I can buy a license though, so with that it would be alright. Well, with rules only, I guess it would work if you only have a handful of websites (B2B scenario) that are "OK" to visit. If I would implement this with rules, I would have to all the allowed websites to the top of the list, and then below that block the ip address range that should not browse other sites? should that work?
