Having read what the license itself says, I tend to agree with the
position asserted below. However, at the last 3 SC conferences in the
US, I've engaged Intel compiler developers and managers on this.
Caveat: IANAL. Worse, I don't think anyone from Intel I've talked to
was, either, which could bode ill for us all, if the lawyers DO get
involved.
However, the talking heads from Intel have asserted to me that the
intent was not to stop academic folk from reasonable use. They were
surprised that the interpretation in the below assertion was made, and
that they didn't interpret it as being that severe.
I will buy a license (I've been saying that for nearly a year) for our
cluster, before instituting it there using the intent expressed to me
verbally, but I suspect that using it for test/evaluation, even if I do
draw a salary, isn't outside their intent.
That said, the academic cost of the compilers is pretty low. Check with
your advisor and see if (s)he has enough discretionary money to acquire
a 5-seat or even 1-seat version.

Hi everyone,
I'm a mechanical engineering graduate student from Croatia (Europe :) and
I'm doing computational continuum mechanics simulations using OpenFOAM
(http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/).
f) as a student you get to use the Intel compilers under a free
development license
Read the Intel Compiler license carefully. If you are getting paid by
your institution to do this work/research, you may not qualify to use
the Intel compilers for free:
"Non-commercial means you are not getting compensated in any form for
the products and services you develop using these Intel® Software
Development Products. Please check the non-commercial FAQ for more
information about qualifying for a non-commercial license.
Note that academic use of the products does not qualify for a
non-commercial license. Intel offers heavily discounted licenses to
academic developers through our Academic Developer Program."
