You might need a licensing agreement for glimpse though, even if you're not reselling it. You should check the glimpse web pages for that, since nowhere in the glimpse tar file does it mention the licensing restrictions that are discussed on the web site. I know that as an ISP, we can't use glimpse to index customers web pages, since that is a commercial use, according to the professor that I talked to who's in charge of the licensing.
