I'm interested in using calibre's conversion capabilities to provide the document reformatting for a work in progress ebook website. ( I can't go into too much detail, as it's still in the business plan/startup phase.)

I can't seem to find the license calibre is developed under. I'd love to use it, but obviously have no intention of it unless I can get confirmation it's legal. From what I can gather on the forums it's fine to use it for whatever personal use, but I dare not venture into the commercial realm without a go ahead.

It will take some heavy adapting, but a large amount of the conversion legwork is done for me, which is why I'm so interested in using it, I'd be more than happy to make a nice donation, or whatever would be required of me for using it in a commerical purpose.

On another note, if a commerical use is indeed permitted, I'd love to find someone heavily familiar with calibre who'd like to help me adapt it, ( I'd be fine with paying them too for their work, I'm not trying to be a cheapskate here.)

If it's not at all, then I understand and will not attempt any underhanded dealings, I'll get to work on designing and implementing a solution from the ground up.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has any answers.

Tyler.
