What we are charging them for is actually comprised of :
(i) service charges for customizing the look and feel to meet their corporate
image.
(ii) customizing the inbox and attachments sizes as per user requirements.
(iii) hosting the data files in our servers.
(iv) managing the user registration etc

I sincerely hope these does not violate the licensing issue.
