licensing

I have access to a dedicated server, and I would like to set up a Ventrilo server on it.

I don't plan to profit from this Ventrilo server, but their website is quite vague about the legality of hosting a Ventrilo server (< 1000 slot, mind you) without paying for a license. Licensing looks fairly expensive considering I will never have more than a couple hundred slots in use.

In summary: if I am hosting a Ventrilo server with less than a thousand slots, do I need to pay for a license?
