Whether the typical user knows it or not, the terms of service have a major impact on usability, since it affects developers. An analagous situation exists with the Player/Player Pro family. Player is a bit too crippled to be of real general use and Player Pro's license is too restrictive to allow easy deployment of applications independent of Mathematica. The license for the forthcoming Wolfram|Alpha API will have a major impact on how useful this new tool is. Mark
