  Dear WordPress Support Team,

  I’m making my self-hosted WordPress Multi-site and I have a question: Am I allowed to make a WordPress Multi-Site and ofer services like WordPress.com? Can I offer my users to create their own website. If I can, am I allowed to charge them for different packages for exemple?
  I wan’t to be sure that it isn’t illegal in any way.

  Thank you in advance.

  Regars,
  Daniel Marthi

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  There is no legal issue at all with creating a WordPress multisite network using free WordPress.org software. See here please http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
