Just FYI: Over the past several years, ActiveState has been tightening their terms of use on "community" ActiveState Perl, Python, etc. to get companies to pay for using their interpreters.
They have completely revamped their offerings and licenses for interpreters and Komodo IDE, and not for the better IMHO. (Maybe the new offerings are good for companies that sell software and services based on it?) For the languages, any use beyond the development of programs (or personal use) now requires a commercial license. If the program touches or creates production data, even if you are the sole user (not run on a server, no distribution of programs, no web services, no automation, etc.) you still need a commercial license. For now, my department said they'll continue to pay ActiveState (publicly stated offerings, now 4.1x last year's cost, for 1 to 4 Komodo licenses and one commercial language license, but I've been the only user...). Personally I will be investigating Strawberry Perl for Windows for my personal use. ActiveState's terms have finally driven me away! ¡Viva el software libre!
