Normally what is acceptable use for stock that investors invest through buying shares from a company?

Gail asks:
Normal uses by the company when a company offers a pink sheet stock, establishes itself as in IPO, or otherwise offers stock to investors? What uses are acceptable for the funds that were invested as stock into the company?
Is there a legal limit or is there just a moral obligation?
