 * Hi there, I would like to use NextGEN Gallery plugin on my client’s sites.
 * If I do not use JW Image rotator, am I allowed to use this plugin commercially?
 * Also, how do I know if I am using JW image rotator? It seems that to use it I
   need to download a separate file, right? So If I do not activate it in the options,
   and do not download the file I shoudl be ok? Am I right?
 * Thanks!
