    Hi there,
    I have a question regarding this portion of the ee license:
    “Use the Software as the basis of a hosted weblogging service, or to provide hosting services to others.”

    I have a site that I need to build that will be aggregating content from various other online sources.  User will be able to search that information in a traditional search box, but also filter it by names that they are interested in.  I thought I could implement the latter by creating custom search links.

    Does the user storing custom search criteria = “providing hosting services to others”?

    It is also likely that we would be charging parts of this service in the future.

    Thanks.

    Doesn’t sound like this would be a problem.

    What this term is about is more like creating bloghosting services like wordpress.com or blogger.com.

    Yes, silenz is correct here: the license prohibits giving each user their own mini-site, as it were, but allowing them to access information based on stored preferences is not an issue.

    Thanks for the prompt replies.  It seems that ee will be a good fit.
