The day's will come when you look inside a £1.000.0 PLC Sequencer
And see two £30 Raspberry Pi doing the job

Re: Using RPi in a commercial project
I believe RealVNC is only licensed for non-commercial use, from my reading of their web-site when this arose a few weeks back. I don't know about Mathematica.jamesh wrote: I dunno. Raspbian is a distro specially for the Raspi (not sure of the legalise with regard to PIxel on x86), and using Raspbian on the Pi comes with no restriction as long as you use it on the Raspi. There are no licence issues AFAICT. I'll lok in to it more a week or two in to the new year.
The Raspberry Pi is designed for use as a teaching platform and it is exceptionally good at that task. If we have to uninstall or relicense a few well-known applications in order to use it commercially then to my mind that is fair enough. If one is going to use a RaspPi as an embedded device of some sort then I hope it is going to be running the absolute minimum of services and applications. That's a basic requirement of network security. Just taking a Pi off the shelf and bunging it a box has never and will never be a good idea.
