I saw this on the licensing information section on the Jira website
JIRA is free for use by official non-profit organisations and charities (proof of non-profit status is required). There are certain organisations whose purpose is to make the world a better place, and we believe in helping them achieve that.
Community licenses are designed for organisations which are:
* non-profit,
* non-government,
* non-academic,
* non-commercial,
* non-political and
* secular
What does the last bullet point actually mean? Does it mean that if you believe in God you cant have a free license for a bug tracking software product?
I would imagine that you as an individual may believe in God(s), but the organisation itself should not be a religious organisation.
I actually asked Atlassian support the very same question a year ot two ago and they said that they don't do community licenses for churches etc. Seemed a bit restrictive to me.

This question may have been answered already, but I haven't been able to find an answer matching my scenario. I'm trying to understand when it's required to purchase a license for iTextSharp.
I want to use iTextSharp in an intranet application within a for-profit company. Can I use the free version? Or am I required to purchase a license? I will not be selling the application or the source code. The application will be used internally by members of the organization.
The issue is not about the internal/external use. It's not even about selling the application or not. It's just a matter of license:
If you release you application under a AGPL-compatible license, you don't need to purchase an iText commercial license.
In not, you'll have to contact their sales department, and purchase one.

How many developers can work together with MonoTouch Enterprise Licensing?
It's one seat per license, but they do have volume licensing aswell.
http://support.xamarin.com/customer/portal/topics/80275-store-faq/articles
Only one developer can use the enterprise license at one time.
This license is assigned to your company though, instead of a specific developer, so if you hire somebody else, or the current developer leaves the team, another one can work on the project without having to purchase a new license.

I'm writing a small book in software development practices and I want to licensed it as open-source, but I don't how these license thing works. Thanks
You may wish to start your search at the creative commons family of licenses, which provide pre-written licenses with a variety of features (non-commercial use only vs commercial use allowed, etc).
Using pre-written software licenses is probably not the best starting point for anything but software.
First you need to be really clear about what you want to achieve. Do you want to earn money on it in any way or from things like corporate customers? Or maybe you just want to let it out for free for anyone to use as they please. In the latter case, you don't really need any licensing at all.
After you have figured out what you want to achieve, we can help you further.

I seem to recall hearing at some point (I believe it was MIX09) that Microsoft has a licensing model of some sort where a business can consume licenses for up to two years, free of charge, until they reach a point where they are stable position and can pay their licensing at the end of two years. However, I can't find information regarding it online.
I want to say that possibly stackoverflow used this licensing model to kick start their site. Is anyone familiar with this?
In addition to BizSpark (as per #paul) there are also WebSpark and, as of May 2010, the developer MAPS programmes.
Webspark information is here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/default.aspx
Details of the Action Pack (MAPS) are currently here: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40132997
I'm fairly certain that in all cases availablility varies by your location - but if you're producing stuff for/with/on Microsoft tools/platforms then they're all worth a look.
You're thinking of BizSpark:

There is also the Empower program if you're an existing business, not a startup.

Point three for example:
Neither the name of the ORGANIZATION nor the names of its contributors may
be used to endorse or promote products
derived from this software without
specific prior written
permission.
Thanks for any advice.
Have you considered using the MIT License as an alternative? It seems (to my eyes) to say about the same thing, but without the organization section.
When I used the BSD license I just reworded it so that it didn't mention organization.
