The forthcoming (dual-licensed, btw) version is much more realistic re:
production environments, since the SWRL implementation is much improved,
both w/r/t performance and stability, and (basically) feature complete w/r/t
SWRL builtins.

Depending on data size & complexity, Pellet 1.5.2 for SWRL-heavy
applications might be usable in production, but I'd target Pellet 1.6.

If you have scheduling issues or production support questions, or want
options, please contact me directly. Depending on what kind of app yr
building, how it's licensed, etc., we can offer a range of support,
licensing, and other options that may be relevant in yr case.

No, I think it was clear, we're just all v. busy right now, so "best effort"
support means that it may take a bit of time to get back to you. If you need
quicker or more in-depth support, http://clarkparsia.com/support might be
relevant.
