[Moses-support] Moses liscencing terms when used in a commercial product

Hi Philipp,

We are very interested to use moses for our language translation purpose. We would like to know the liscence & payment terms & conditions on building a product out of the moses as a translation engine on some domain specific corpus. Here are our questions:
1. When our product internally uses moses-decoder to translate from one language to other, do we need to buy a liscence for moses decoder?
2. Or because it is under GNU and open source, will it allow the commercial products to be developed that internally uses moses decoder?

Thanks & Regards,
Abhinandan

Hi,

Moses has a very liberal license (LGPL) that allows it to be used in commercial products free of charge. We would appreciate a appropriate mention of Moses.
