Thanks for your reply Jim. Actually I did explain to them that I was going to sell my software with their slider included and asked if this was ok. This was their response:

Hi Gustavo

Yes the Nivo Slider jQuery plugin is released under the MIT license and so you can use it wherever you want.

Regards

Seems like a very vague response IMO but after doing some research about the MIT license it states that this can be included in software for sale the only condition is that the license (for the Nivo) must also be included with the software, I'm not quite sure what that means though...
