Re: services for unix redistribution licence question

IIRC, MSFU is free.

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, I couldn't see a specific
area for either 'services for unix' or 'licensing'.

Suppose I am porting to windows an application that currently uses Posix
threads (pthread library). I notice that Microsoft Services for Unix 3.5
provides pthread support inside psxdll.dll, but this is not part of the
normal windows SDK.

So if I make my product dependent on this DLL, does that mean my customers
have to
purchase MSFU themselves, or am I allowed to redistribute the DLL as a
runtime component?

If I am able to include this DLL in my distribution, do I have to provide
any copyright or
other information with my software docs?

thanks,
tony
