I'd like to distribute the .NET framework with my application. I'm
wondering about the license. My application is being created with
Borland Delphi 8 (with .NET) - I've the license for that product. So
the question is: may I distribute the .NET framework with my app?
I was trying to find this information on the Microsoft's web page -
but I've found it impossible.
Please help me,
cezar

Best to bootstrap the install, pointed at the Microsoft download server.

I've read: "you must have a validly licensed copy of the
Microsoft .NET Framework SDK"
What that mean? Do I have to buy anything?

Anyone with a computer running Windows can download and install the .Net
Framework, so I would think it would be fine to distribute it. You don't
have to buy anything.

Hello ccezarr,

it means that u need the licence to use SDK and develop software.
but having .NET Redistributive doesnt request licence

No, it means that the person installing has to agree to the EULA. That is
why you want to bootstrap rather than download and install from your side.

If you absolutely have to have teh .NET Framework as part of your isntall
and not bootstrapped, you will have to contact Microsoft. There may be fees
associated; I do not know, as I have never aimed in this direction.
