Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Compiling packet-rtps using VC7

[Biot Olivier <Olivier.Biot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I included the EULA for the people that don't want to download the free
MSVC++ toolkit 2003 package. It looks like the restrictions only apply to
the sample code included in the toolkit and not to the compiled libraries
AFAIK. Unless GPL demands that *all* linked libraries also be GPL?

The "redist.txt" file of the MSVCC+ toolkit 2003 reads as:

"There are no redistributable files (i.e., dll's/cab's, etc.) included with
the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. Object library files included with the Visual
C++ Toolkit 2003 (e.g. the C Runtime Library static libraries designated
with the suffix ".lib") will be automatically linked to your program when
they are compiled by the Visual C++ compiler and linker.  Inclusion of these
static libraries as compiled into your program is acceptable; you may not,
however, redistribute the static libraries standalone - on their own."

The entire EULA text for the MS VC++ Toolkit 2003 is attached at the bottom
of this mail.

Regards,

Olivier

These additional license rights are conditioned upon your compliance with
the distribution requirements and license restrictions described in Section
3.
2.1	Sample Code. Microsoft grants you the right to use and modify the
source code version of those portions of the Software identified as
"Samples" in REDIST.TXT or elsewhere in the Software ("Sample Code") for the
sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing your software

Section 2, you agree:  (i) except as otherwise noted in Section 2.1 (Sample
Code) to distribute the Redistributables only in object code form and in

Redistributables ("Licensee Software"); (ii) that the Redistributables only
operate in conjunction with Microsoft Windows platforms; (iii) to distribute

You also agree not to permit further distribution of the Redistributables by

distributors only distribute the Redistributables in conjunction with, and
as part of, the Licensee Software and you and your distributors comply with
all other terms of this EULA. 
3.2	If you use the Redistributables, then in addition to your compliance
with the applicable distribution requirements described for the
Redistributables, the following also applies.  Your  license rights to the

of the Redistributables in any manner that would cause the Redistributables

License; and (b) distributing the Redistributables (or derivative works
thereof) in any manner that would cause the Redistributables to become
subject to any of the terms of an Excluded License.   An "Excluded License"
is any license which requires as a condition of use, modification and/or
distribution of software subject to the Excluded License, that such software
or other software combined and/or distributed with such software (x) be
disclosed or distributed in source code form; (y) be licensed for the
