Actually, I don't know if it is or not. I stumbled across MovableBLOG: MT License Debate, and I read what it had there. Then, I followed a bunch of the links around to Comment on MT and Kicking the Baby Squirrels, again, but I am still not sure what is going on...?

So, I have a MovableType install. I use it to power this personal web site and my other personal web site. Additionally, this single instance of MT, also, runs two other personal web sites that I "set up" for my friends -- Better Half and Coloring Outside the Lines. I never charged them anything (except for the sweet lovin' I get from Scott every now and again), so I am assuming I am in the clear. Here is some relevant text from the license, though (the emphasis is mine):

If you are a web developer and want to install one copy of the Software on one web server as a publishing system for a single website...

the client website must be either one of the two types of websites described above for which a Limited Use License is available, or a website license under Licensor’s Personal, Non-Commercial Use License. A single License Fee shall be payable by either you or by the client, with the license issued to both you and the client.

So, I am not sure. I guess if they ever stumble across my nest of web pages, I will find out one way or another. Whatever the case, if they crack down on my illegal doing's, I am definitely rolling over on Chuckie to save my own skin. Heheh...
