While I can't answer your licensing question I will say, probably not.

That being said.  I would also advise you not to use TeamSource.  There
are plenty of alternatives out there that are actively being developed.

There have been threads recently in non-tech and thirdparty groups
about alternative Version Control Systems.

There are a number of bugs still in teamsource and while none of them
cause corrupt archives, they are very annoying.  Some that I have
encountered on site where a client uses teamsource are:

* Versions not being pinned correctly (there is even a Fix Version
context menu item)
* Deleted files are always deleted
* Added files are not always saved with version information
* Differences are sometimes not reported
* Difference viewer is very poor.  (Beyond Compare is an excellent
solution to this).  WinMerge is OK - and free.
* Interface is cumbersome at best
* No IDE integration
* Revert does not always work.  Best to select "Ignore" and then recopy
file from archive.

You may want to have a look at StarTeam also.  It is an excellent
product (you can usually do a deal with your local rep for a better
price).
