We have just split our sites into an open source site at www.appWebServer.org and a commercial site at www.mbedthis.com. This should clarify any remaining confusion.
Mbedthis Software continues to generously provide hardware, staff and funding to make this open source project possible. Successful open source often depends on the commitment and support of such companies.

Re: Legal Issues
We supply the software under dual licenses. It is available under a GPL license and we are clear on that when everyone downloads the software. It is free but not quite unrestricted. The normal GPL restrictions apply.
We also offer commercial licenses for those who need them. Some people can't use GPL software when combining with proprietary software. So we provide both licenses.

Legal Issues
I think you need to make clear, both here and on your web site,
what the legal status of your server software is. You have it
marked here as released under the GPL, which implies the unrestricted
free use of your software. But your web site is full of proprietary
licensing statements, restrictions, and only passing references to
Open Source.
This _is_ the new world of Open Source. So speak up--whose side are you on?
