That depends on the terms of the contract between you and your customer.

I you are renting them a base "free only" VM then it would be
reasonable to make it a contract term that the customers deals with
licensing for any software he installs on it.

This sounds fair enough.

 

Are you aware of any software which would cause problems in this area? For example, they would be allowed to install Oracle or MYSQL on a rented VM, provided they were in control of it, right?

 

As for the "free only" base image, that would just be a standard PV install of Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS, right?

 

Thanks
