The restriction is stated as being applicable to "redistribution on mass me= dia". Could you please elaborate on what this means - clearly a number of l= eading solutions use FreeBSD so I'm trying to properly understand when and = how the redistribution restrictions apply. In our own case we would be using FreeBSD as a component of managed service= s that we would be providing to our customers. The software would remain on= our own server and would not be separately available to our customers. We = assume therefore that this in any case does not constitute "redistribution"= . Many thanks.
