Especially question 7

a.. 7. Can I use Express Editions for commercial use?
Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications built
using Visual Studio Express Editions.


 I know. It's just that the wording is a bit ambiguous. "Can I use".
Does it mean "can I use it, as an individual, to create commercial
software", or does it also include "can my 100-employee company use
it for commercial purposes" as well?

 I would really like to find the legal usage license which
explicitly states, in completely unambiguous words, how this goes,
rather than relying on a short informal answer in a FAQ. I just
can't find it.


I think the "no licensing restrictions" is pretty clear. :-)

Otherwise you might consider spending ?200 on a Standard Edition
Upgrade instead, as a cheap insurance. Cheaper than having your lawyer
read the EULA!
