Milbertus Dives Deep Into DevDays DVD

Well, deeper than me, anyway.

Inside, he finds good news and bad news.

The good news: IssueVision source code in C#, MC++, J# along with the promised VB.NET. 

The bad news: a strange License that allows IssueVision to be used in closed source but not open source projects.  I have not looked at the disk yet (haven't installed the DVD drive yet) but I assume it is due to one of the components used.  I can't remember exactly, but I remember something being said about a third party component.

I ran the installer again, and looked at the license agreement more carefully. Here are the parts that concern me:
"...In return, we simple require that you agree:
[snip]
That you are not allowed to combine or distribute the Software with other software that is licensed under terms that seek to require that the Software (or any intellectual property in it) be provided in source code form, licensed to others to allow the creation or distribution of derivative works, or distributed without charge.

That if you distribute the Software in source code form you do so only under this license (i.e. you must include a complete copy of this license with your distribution), and if you distribute the Software solely in object form you only do so under a license that complies with this license.
..."

I guess what it's saying is that if you distribute source, you have to use this license. Otherwise, just use a license just make sure that it's compatible with this one.

So, as long as I don't copy code out of IssueVision, I think that I'm ok to use any license that I want. I think.
