Hi Plotly official guys,

I am using Dash to build analytical web page.  
But I would like to use it as commercial use. Maybe I want to resell to others…  
Can you help to answer below questions? Thanks

Q1. Do I need to buy license for commercial use?  
Q2. If I sell my solution by using Dash, do I need to buy the license?  
Q3. I read some articles, it seems the licensing is just to use the plotly cloud service. If I use it in my own infrastructure, do I need the license?

> Hi Team Dash, First of all, I would like to thank the developers specially Chris for this awesome product. Actually I’ve been playing on it for almost two months. I just have one concern, Dash libraries is free in desktop environment but we have to pay if we deploy it in a web server, Am I right? Appreciate your prompt reply on this matter, I really want to deep dive on this product, I want to learn more on this product. Warm Regards, Paul Caballero
