Splunk Free License specifics

From reading this link : http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Installation/MoreaboutSplunkwithaFreeLicense

I understand that the free license "is designed for personal" use and you can "index up to 500MB/day".

2 questions :

1) Do you breach the free license if you have 3 independent Splunk servers on free licenses indexing 300MB a day (total 900 MB) ?

2) Do you breach the free license if you use it in a corporate situation ?

1) No. Multiple separate instances are fine.

2) No. The free version lacks features that are often useful in a corporate environment.
