+Excerpted on 2005/08/01 from

+
+What license do I need?
+
+The non-commercial use (tests, pilot installations, private use,
+etc.) of IDEA is free of charge. If you want to use IDEA commercially,
+a license is required. Two types of licenses are available:
+
+End-User License - use of IDEA with hardware and software products
+(e.g. PGPi, etc.). Single End-User Licenses, as well as Server
+End-User Licenses for server-based applications are available.
+Single End-User Licenses are available online via our website.
+
+Product License - integration of IDEA in hardware and software
+products (e.g. smart cards, encryption applications, etc.). Different
+Product Licenses are offered for Media Broadcast (broadcasting,
+multicasting, etc.) and General IT (banking, telecom, data transfer,
+etc.) applications.
+
+When do I need a Single End-User license?
+
+A Single End-User license is needed when the IDEA executable code
+is installed once on a client or end-user device (PC, workstation,
+PDA, pager, "smart phone" or other electronic device for which the
+IDEA executable code was designed), and used by one individual/user
+at a time.
+
+When do I need a Server End-User license?
+
+A Server End-User license is needed when the IDEA executable code
+is installed once on a device and is (or can be) executed by many
+individuals/users at the same time.
+
+Can I use IDEA with the freeware program GnuPG?
+
+Yes, GnuPG contains links to include the IDEA encryption algorithm.
+Non-commercial use is authorized according to our Licensing Policy.
+If you use IDEA for commercial purposes with GnuPG you would need
+to order an End-User License. Should you need a license for a
+server-based implementation of GnuPG, then we suggest to order a
+Server End-User License.
+
+I am using GnuPG as a single user. What license do I need?
+
+In this case you need a Single End-User License. Single End-User
+Licenses can be purchased directly from our website via credit card
+(VISA/MasterCard). Alternatively you can pay by check, money order,
+or wire transfer (for a small fee).
+
+I am looking for a license for a group of users using GnuPG on a
+server. What license do I need?
+
+If you want to use IDEA commercially in a server based application
+you will need a Server End-User License. The price of the license
+depends on the number of users having access to the server-based
+application. Contact us for details.
+
+I am using PGP 2.6.3i. Do I need to purchase a license?
+
+PGP 2.6.3i may be freely used for non-commercial purposes only.
+If you want to use PGPi for commercial purposes, you need to buy
+a separate license for the IDEA algorithm used in PGP. IDEA licenses
+can be purchased directly from our website via credit card
+(VISA/MasterCard). Alternatively you can pay by check, money order,
+or wire transfer (for a small fee).
+
+What is the definition of non-commercial use of IDEA?
+
+The free use of software and/or hardware containing the algorithm
+is strictly limited to non revenue generating data transfer between
+private individuals, i.e., not serving commercial purposes. Requests
+by freeware developers to obtain a royalty-free license to spread
+an application program containing the algorithm not for commercial
+purposes must be directed to MediaCrypt.  Non-Commercial is not
+equal to non-profit. A non-profit organization using a tool for
+running its business still remains a commercial organization and
+is object to a license.
+
+What is the definition of commercial use of IDEA?
+
+Any use of IDEA commercially (in paid or free product) is object
+to a license.  Commercial Purposes' shall mean any revenue generating
+purpose including but not limited to
+
+a) using the algorithm for company internal purposes (subject to
+a Server License) b) incorporating an application software containing
+the algorithm into any hardware and/ or software and distributing
+such hardware and/or software and/or providing services related
+thereto to others (subject to a Product License).  c) using a
+product containing an application software that uses the algorithm
+not covered by an IDEA license (subject to an End-User License).
+
+Do educational institutions get a discount? Do they qualify as
+"non-commercial"?
+
+Universities using IDEA for research/education purposes, only, will
+not have to pay for licenses. If IDEA is used for administrative/internal
+tasks a license is required.
