Is Visual SourceSafe 2005 free to use in commercial development or does it require a license?

A:
The short answer appears to be: No - it's not free to use.
Microsoft's website indicates that you must have a Visual Sourcesafe license for each person using the product.
I was able to find this through google of "Visual Sourcesafe licensing" so I'm not sure what your confusion is here.

It is marginally free if you already are a MSDN subscriber. Many MS shops see an MSDN subscription as a necessity. If that is your case, then VSS is just no-extra charge. Or a lame gift horse depending on your opinion of the product.
