sjd Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The PDN Licence states "Portions copyright Microsoft". There's no explicitly identified or identifyable source code sections that comes from Microsoft that I can see. Is this just a blanket statement that refers to the Framework DLLs? If so then why include the above statement when all dotNET apps have to include the Framework? Could you clarify this, and identify what, if any, code areas that are affected? regards SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjd Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 We have developed a niche product that uses highly modified 2.1 code as the core display engine, along with proprietary DLLs, hardware and other added value. The License terms are not a problem, except that "Portions" is way too vague. Hence we have to make sure we attribute any relevent parts (if any are in fact identifiable) to the correct source.

Rick Brewster Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm sorry but we can't get more detailed than what the licensing already states -- we do not keep track of which specific subset of the code is attributed to whom.

adamhill Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 So be more general. Is all the code that the developers have written since they have started working at Microsoft, copyrighted by Microsoft? adam hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
