Yes Ram,<br /><br />LR CE is community edition and comes up with LGPL or MIT licence.<br />So you can use and host this web application.<br />Also you can use any hooks and OOB portlets (which has MIT licence) as well.<br />But if you want any support(like any patches for bugs) from liferay then better you choose LR EE .

Hi Ram,<br /><br />Please find my reply below:<br /><br />(1) CE edition of Liferay is available under LGPL license. It is an open source product.<br />(2) You can use CE edition to develop web applications and host them. But being a community edition, you will not get official support from Liferay.<br />(3) It would be better if you check this with Liferay. As per my belief, as long as you comply with LGPL license, you should be ok to do so.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Gaurav
