Are there any restrictions on used Hercules in a DR plan?

I don't think there are, but I wondered if Roger or someone else
"authoritative" <grin> would mind commenting on the subject please?

Note - I am not talking about the legality of the OS being ran on it (which
in this case, would be Linux anyway...) but about Hercules itself.

Thanks

We run all the business critical apps here under Linux on zSeries. I plan to
use Herc at our DR site to run several instances of zLinux that support our
applications. I wasn't sure if you had put any provisions in the Herc
license that placed any restrictions on it for commercial purposes.

On 3 December 2000 Hercules switched to an Open Source Definition-compliant
license, which means no limitations on type of usage. Commercial usage is
therefore permitted (and indeed encouraged).
