I have seen this stated several times on the list. While I believe that this used to be the case, Intel has clarified their position on academic use of their non-commercial compilers. As taken from their FAQ page (http://www.intel.com/software/products/noncom/faq.htm) Q. I am engaged in academic research. Can I use the non-commercial product? A. If you, as an individual, are receiving any form of compensation for the research project (i.e., you receive a salary, or funding, etc.), you do not qualify for a non-commercial use license. However, you may qualify for the academic license (Click to academic page) Note that I do not have any affiliation with Intel nor does it bother me what individuals choose to do with their copies of the non-commercial compilers. However, I wanted to clear up what I think is a common misconception about their compilers.
