Thanks. I figured that would be OK.

I also assume it would *not* be OK for users of an app that has
redistributed the CAB as part of its install, to redistribute this CAB
(or individual components) themselves unless they have a valid VS.NET
license. So for example if I developed an app to demonstrate using
SqlCe in a CF app, all they could do is marvel at my good work, and
would not be able to develop and deploy apps themselves using SqlCe
unless they have VS.NET. Is this a correct assumption?
