Re: .NET Licensing

Well, there is quite a difference between installing unlicensed software and
distributing software created with a legally licensed development tool.

I understand what you are saying though.

Unfortunately we were stung during an inspection a while back that ended
up costing the company significantly because employees were putting
unauthorized (and unlicensed) software on the companies computers. That
makes the IT manager very sensitive to licensing issues. We need something
more reliable than 3rd party info.

Thanks.

None of this has licensing issues, including visual studio itself. If it
did, no one could realistically sell their products.

I don't have a link for you that spells this out, but I've never heard of
a development tool charging for selling or distributing your application.

I found a FAQ on the MS website that states "No licensing restrictions
for applications built using the Express Editions" but my boss wants
explicit terms & conditions.

Can somebody point me to an official MS page that spells out terms &
conditions for using .NET 2.0, the .NET SDK, and the Express Editions of
the development tools?
