| A development license means that you are licensed to create (develop)
| software with the development tool and distribute it. You're correct
that
| in order to run any software created with the tool, you must adhere to
the
| licensing requirments of that resulting softwares "runtime". For VB 6
the
| only supporting piece of software (the runtime) is MSVBVM60.dll and is
| freely distributable. So, you do not need a license to USE software
created
| with the deveopment tool, regardless of if that resulting software is
used
| in a production environment.
|
| In the .NET development world, the .NET Framework is the required piece
of
| software that the production environment needs in order to run any
software
| developed with Visual Studio .NET, but again, Microsoft makes the .NET
| Framework freely distributable as it is in their best interest to
promote
| applications written using their development tools to run on as many
| machines as possible.

This is why you are a troll. No one, not even the OP asked about .Nxt.
There was absolutely no reason at all to push it in this thread. Troll.

If you are too stupid to see that I brought it up to show that the VB 6
runtime being feely distributable was not a fluke, then that is your
problem. I hardly believe that you could make a case that I'm "pushing"
..NET because I mentioned how its licensing is the same as VB 6's.

The fact is Kevin, that you have somehow and somewhere come to belive that
the 4 characters "." "N" "E" "T" placed in ANY message in this NG is somehow
evangelistic and troll-like. All that does is shows us all how narrow
minded and ignorant you are.

So, go ahead and whine - - by now you've clearly shown us you are an idiot,
but don't for one second think that your narrow minded vision of the world
should be shared by others.

Clearly, you've got a problem with me (and everyone else who's thinking
rationaly). Fine. Call me what you want. But if you seriously believe
that your temper tantrums are effecting any kind of change for the better,
you are very much mistaken.

I'm content to let the rational people out there read the thread and decide
who is a troll for themselves.
