Re: redistribution

Artur:

The current beta license doesn't include redist rights because the intent of
the beta is to not be a production product.

Our plan for the production release of this driver is to offer free redist
rights under a separate agreement, which you could *sign* and download from
the web.

That infrastructure isn't in place yet, but I'd like to help you out in your
scenario, so please mail me offline (shelbyg-at-microsoft-dot-com) and let's
see if we can find a solution. If we manage to work out a way to do this,
I'll post the process back to this group and include it in our next beta.
