Sorry if this seems like a lame question but I want to be sure before making a decision.

The Virtualbox PUEL license says

“Personal Use” requires that you use the Product on the same Host Computer where you installed it yourself and that no more than one client connect to that Host Computer at a time for the purpose of displaying Guest Computers remotely.

I take this to mean that if I want to setup a development server (web server) that's only used by me to do my work this falls under personal use. But if I make this server available for clients to connect to the websites to view my progress this is no longer personal use also meaning that using Vbox to run a production web server is also against the license.

Again sorry if this is a dumb question but I find it hard to follow the wording used in licenses.

I know I could go with OSE but I have not looked into VNC versus RDP yet.

Thanks.
