A long time ago, there was a discussion about the legality of using
Mathematica with the notebook (providing access via a webserver). Here
is the relevant section from the license agreement I see with MMA 7:
Note that item 7 now specifies that the prohibited use is allowing
*others* to access MMA through a webserver. Hence, I think using the
notebook to access MMA for personal use is now a non-issue.
There was also question about how the examples were inconsistent with
the license agreement in that the examples indicated that mathematica
functions could and should be modified, while the license agreement
forbade it. However, this new license agreement explicitly grants
permission to modify portions of Mathematica written in MMA code.

PROHIBITED USES
All uses of the Software and other elements of the Product not
specifically stated in the Permitted Uses and Installations section of
this Agreement are prohibited, including without limitation:
1. running more Controlling Processes or Computational Processes
concurrently than the maximum specified on Your License Certificate,
allowing access to a single Controlling Process by multiple computers or
terminals;
2. installing or running the Software on a computer associated with
a Product Class greater than the Product Class specified on Your License
Certificate;
3. decompiling, disassembling, or reverse engineering the Software;
4. modifying the Software in any manner, except those portions
written in the Mathematica language and included as examples;
5. distributing, publishing, transferring, sublicensing, lending,
leasing, renting, or otherwise making available the Product or any
portion of the Software including collections of data;
6. copying or allowing copying of the Product or any elements of the
Product, except as permitted for the maintenance of an archival copy of
the Software as allowed by the Permitted Uses and Installations section
of this Agreement;
7. allowing access to the Product by any user other than Licensee,
including without limitation, access to the Product via a web server,
which is only allowed pursuant to a valid webMathematicaTM license
agreement;
8. removing any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
from the Product; and
9. Installing separate components of each Controlling Process or
Computation Process on separate computers, with the exception that the
Front End of a Controlling Process can be on a separate computer from
the associated Kernel.
