Viv & Craig,

now you see why I am unsure as to whether or not I can use it.

My personal company does not make more than US$1M annually (assuming the money discussed is US of course). I have no idea what the turnover of the company who owns the source code is and I really doubt they'd let me know.

:(

>>>"Example 2: A Fortune 500 firm has outsourced the development of its store-locator mobile application to a small agency. The application is not an open source project. The agency has 5 employees working on the project and would like to use Visual Studio Community 2013. Since the agency is a contractor developing this application for the Fortune 500 firm, and since the application is not an open source project, the agency cannot use Visual Studio Community 2013 for developing and testing the application. "
