Ah, I see. I'm not a lawyer and I admit I did not read the terms of
service in great detail. Does that violate any app engine terms of
service if I were to sell instances of this app to different schools
like you suggest? I could set up the accounts for each customer I
have. I am an entrepreneur close to completion of an app targeted at
schools. Do you foresee any problems with this approach?
Thanks
