I'm building an app that will be used by "anyone".

It depends on the WCF REST Starter Kit, specifically the Microsoft.Http.dll and Microsoft.Http.Extensions.dll assemblies.

Can I (legally) redistribute these DLLs?

I am thinking I could just copy them into the bin directory with all the other assemblies for the app. Sound right?

Did you read the License document on that site?

http://aspnet.codeplex.com/license

The pertinent part:

"Reference use" means use of the software within your company as a reference, in read only form, for the sole purposes of debugging your products, maintaining your products, or enhancing the interoperability of your products with the software, and specifically excludes the right to distribute the software outside of your company.

Once it is released, then I expect there would be a 'redistributable' package you can distribute with your application.

    I started reading it, then my eyes glazed over and I hit my head on the keyboard. – Cheeso Dec 05 '10 at 21:59
  • @Cheeso - I know *exactly* what you mean. I asked a question about the 'Internal Use' Microsoft license on Server Fault a bit ago where my answer was pretty clearly in the info I'd read before :) – Andrew Barber Dec 05 '10 at 22:36
