So, for example, if you build a web site for a shoe company and the web site uses GreenSock code and customers can purchase shoes on the web site, that's fine because the product/service/application they're purchasing (shoes in this case) doesn't use GreenSock code. If, however, you were using GreenSock code in a game that users must pay for (either to play at all or to access certain features of), you WOULD need the special commercial license that comes with a corporate Club GreenSock membership.

I have a question about the license: do I need to buy a corporate Club GreenSock membership if I use TweenLite to make an advertisement for my commercial website which is freely accessible to anyone? Some people will purchase things on the website, so I wasn't sure if it requires the special license (You mentioned that if multiple end users are charged a fee, I need the license).

Yes, you got it exactly right - if you charge company B a one-time development fee for your game and they share it publicly, not charging end users any fees, you do NOT need the special license that comes with a corporate Club GreenSock membership. This is how most commercial projects happen and the standard "no charge" license covers it. If, however, you or company B were going to charge multiple end users an access/usage/license fee for the game, you'd need to get a corporate membership. Thanks for asking. Good question, Amos.

It is the easiest and most powerful programming tool I've ever used (and I've used the Ruby language). So, let me see if I have this right... If I make a game that uses TweenLite, and sell said game to Company B for a one-time fee, and Company B hosts said game on a site that does not charge end users to play it, I don't need a license? BTW, I fully intend to get a Club Greensock membership (corporate or otherwise, as needed) as soon as I'm sure I can make money making Flash content.
