I'm using it, in an open source project .. I'd have to check but I think you only have to pay if your going to sell your project not sure on that one.

Damn, wish I'd seen this before, thanks for the heads up, now I have to re-write an entire project (not pleased)
Registered Licence
Users who register have no restrictions placed upon them - they may release any code created with XLnt ii, including full commercial releases! The author of XLnt will claim no ownership of said releases. Registered users will also be entitled to free upgrades, plugins etc so it pays to register!
Interesting, if that is the case if I brought it and I had "no restrictions" I could release the code under a GPL Licence and you guys could use it free with no restrictions, something must be wrong here.
None the less I've had to modify my version of xlnt2 I can't remember what I modified now though.
