Sorry, I reread this and have more to add:
The licensing of @home is "strictly for home use" and not for any commercial
use. Of course, if you work at home using @home (sorry, had to do that) but
you are telecommuting, does that constitute commercial use? Geez, packets
are packets. They don't know if they are coming from a server or a
workstation. And what constitutes a server? Is an IA32 box running a mysql
database a server?
Honestly, I don't think they care if you do run servers, just as long as it
isn't abused by alot of people who set up game servers or something else
bandwidth-intensive.
