May 5, 200719 yr I'd say that nLite / vLite enter the incidence of the same EULA covering the Windows AIK, which is free to use. So if they create a legal precedence for such apps, developers and beta testers everywhere would be breaking the law so no more Microsoft Connect, no more Microsoft Research and a lot of highly qualified personnel would go unemployed.So consider the legal ramifications before asking such questions even if you go to court (I did that 3 times, and not because of Microsoft) charges would most likely be dropped. Unless they charge you for industrial espionage, that is.
May 5, 200719 yr I am not blame on anyone. I ask these questions for my information only.Thanks for clear my questions.
May 8, 200719 yr few minor comments... for newbe users... and talking in general term for most european countries and US state (its still up to you to check you it a aplys to you too)... IF you redistribute microsoft windows, as retailer (or OEM-system builder) you are required in most countries and states to deliver what you sell, that is - if you sell a licence of windows you are to deliver a full retail version of windows... its licence documents etc. (also a full orriginal cdrom containing it ) - or equivilent to the sold version: OEM, Retail, volume licence, or other... MAYBE: with the expeption of when you being an oficial OEM partner allowed to licence a machine by installing a sticker with code... If your an OEM reseller, YOU are the soul 'person' to provide support to a client... and MS will genarally refuse to support any of your clients... If you sell out customized (hacked), retail versions be aware even more, because, by hacking (tweeking) the system you may be undoing any warrenty your users have a right to... by doing this you MUST make sure your clients agrea to this, knowing what it wil meen to them if things break, - about pre-installing 3rd party software, You MUST be sure to have the right to distribute and/or resell ALL software on your disks.... in generall: Ask your local legal-counseler (lawyer) first before you ever use projects as this one for productional and/or (semi-)comercial use... AT ALL TIME.
