Does anyone have a suggestion for a machine learning library similar to Weka, Rapidminer or Knime but with a license that allow it to be used in a comercial environnement. We only want it to write a piece of software we will use internally. We dont intent to sell or distribute the software build on top of it.

Since you don't intend to redistribute the software to your clients (strict internal use), I think you can use any machine learning library without restriction.

If you do want to redistribute your software to your clients without open-sourcing it, you can use libraries with a permissive license such as BSD. scikit-learn is an example of such a library.

You can ask the guys of sickits.learn (is written in Python). Most of them post regularly around here (Alexandre, Ogrisel)

I've used for simple classification tasks and it's been quite handy.

Pentaho holds commercial rights for weka. Since you are already familiar with weka. I suggest you to look. http://www.pentaho.com/products/data_mining/
