No, it does not violate the license:
Microsoft says the new version of the Windows CE Shared Source license
eliminates many of the constraints that kept most companies from using
modified OS code in their products, "enabling, for the first time, all
licensees to ship products commercially built from their modifications
of the Windows CE 5.0 shared source code." Additionally, beginning with
the new Shared Source license version, Windows CE 5.0 licensees will
maintain ownership of their derivative code, "and will not be obligated
to share modifications with Microsoft, partners, or competitors."

And: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/bb190212.aspx (that is CE
6.0 but I can't seem to find the 5.0 license on the MS webpage anymore!)

Hi Michel,
Except this is off the PRIVATE tree, so if I cloned it I would be violating
the license, right?
Any idea about the logic dealing with that particular Registry key?
Thanks,

Hi,
In order to get Link Local to fire up quicker I noticed in the DHCP sources
a registry flag being used in dhcp.c, HKLM\Comm\"Adapter"\Comm\TcpIP called
DhcpEnableImmediateAutoIP. However, in the code after querying the Registry
for the existance of this key, it then deletes the value (REgDeleteValue)
which means the next time the device boots up this Registry value is gone and
it doesn't go through the same code.
Can anyone tell me what it would do this? I know this is "private" code so I
can't change it, though I could create code elsewhere that always creates the
key on each boot.
TIA,
/michel
