Anaconda commercial use on Azure Data Science Virtual Machine

I would like to know if there is any problem in terms of license if enterprise companies use Anaconda that is preinstalled in Azure Data Science Virtual Machine. In another inquiry, I saw an answer that Anaconda included in Azure Machine Learning service has no problem in terms of the license but I would like to confirm whether DSVM also has a problem or not. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/165312/anaconda-commercial-use-on-azure-machine-learning.html

@kenta-takahashi The thread referenced by a user was in a different context who wanted to check if they had to subscribe to commercial license to use Azure ML. In the case of DSVM where anaconda packages are installed they are still configured to use open source packages irrespective of the subscription that spins them up. So, you can definitely use the DSVM for your purposes and configure any license's that were acquired to enhance your usage experience with the tools that have been pre-installed. Thanks!!

Thank you very much for your prompt answer! Let me confirm my understanding. Your answer means that the DSVM users do not need to acquire additional license of anaconda for the users' commercial usage?

@kenta-takahashi I mean if you want to use the available Anaconda installation on the DSVM without anaconda commercial license you can use it for any purpose.
If you are using a free Azure service subscription though then your usage of the Azure resources is restricted by limits and all the subscription terms apply.
