Not to mention that Wolfram specifically forbids "allowing access to the Product by any user other than Licensee, including, without limitation, access to the Product via a web server, which is only allowed pursuant to a valid webMathematicaTM license agreement;" See http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/licensingterms.html I once was going to make a plugin for Dokuwiki to allow someone (or even just me!) to run Mathematica code by typing it into a wiki. Then I saw the above phrase in the "Prohibited Uses" section of the licensing terms.
