Are you trying to say that ESXi's EULA doesn't inherently give you the rights to install 3rd party software on ESXi "for free"?
Example

No, I am saying you can not inherently do the things with ESXi free that you can do with other free hypervisors, such as the example above. You can not do a production level backup of the VMs on top of this hardware, which makes ESXi essentially useless to a production environment.
