Commercial?

[Charlie]

Hi, im maintaining a site/forum with advertizement and it draws in money so in that sence its commercial but its not to make a profit, its to pay for server fee's, pricemoney in contest and alittle to those that make sure it all works so i wonder, where is the line for commercial websites vs noncommercial?
Regards

Hi Charlie,

This sounds like a non-profit project, so then you're allowed to use Highslide for free even though you have advertizing.

In his case I agree, this is a non-commercial project, but you didn't answer the question: where is a line, what means the difference between commercial and non-commercial stuff? I'm planning on launching my own project soon and wondering if it's all about the money or not thanks

It's simple enough. It's "commercial" if the primary purpose of the site is to sell a product or service for profit.
