We heard back from Imperavi on the legal aspect of it.  Updated the answer [here](http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/4238/57).

@Derek But if you hadn't asked, we wouldn't have gotten the legal update (legally fine)

Can I use Redactor on my front end?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-15)

I'm building a simple user backend and I would like to use Redactor for a couple fields. I see Redactor is a commercial product.

1. When I pay for Craft Pro does that include a license to use Redactor?
2. From an implementation standpoint, can I use the libraries already available?

I guess I wouldn't mind loading in another version of redactor for my front end. But I'm mostly curious if my craft license covers a redactor license.
