Do those versions let you use the products on production web servers though?


Isn't that what "full versions" means?


Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but "no".

Whether or not a particular software can be used in a commercial context has more to do with licensing than how "full version" it is. In fact, even Trial versions of softwares can often be used in a commercial context during the trial period.

Versus, say, the full version of VMware Player, which while full featured and having no trial period, is prohibited via license to be used commercially.


Yes.
