Hi Alessandro,
Up until now I believe the situation has been that it's free for
non-commercial use but if it's to be used commercially a licence has
to be bought for every computer it is running on. However, Carl
Sassenrath recently made this post to the list...

I think it's time to change the licensing for REBOL/Core
and REBOL/View. What do you think? Here's what I'm thinking:
Core and View would be free for use and redistribution for
commercial and noncommercial use; however, if more than five
copies are in use at a single company, then purchasing would
be required. Exception would be the use of REBOL for any
educational purposes.
This mean you can use REBOL for creating and selling your
programs, for in-house servers, for small company clients,
and for use in consulting solutions.

And that, as far as I know, is where things currently stand. My guess
would be that any change to their licences would coincide with the
release of their next versions, (due out real soon now - maybe:), so
the new licences could be included within them.
