distribuiting programs made with the csharp compiler of framework SDK

[Sam74]

Hi, I've downloaded framework 1.1 .net SDK from the microsoft webpage and
i've seen that in the pakage there is the csharp compiler (csc.exe)
If I develop a program with notebook and I compile it with this compiler,
have I got the right to distribuite my program as freeware or sell it?

thanyou

Hi Sam,

Hi, I've downloaded framework 1.1 .net SDK from the microsoft webpage and

have I got the right to distribuite my program as freeware or sell it?

AFAIK yes. However, it will be a very hard way without a Development tool
.... even with the free sharpDevelop Software. I suggest Visual Studio .NET
or at least Visual C# .NET Standard to develop with, that's less frustrating
than working with Notepad ... :-).

On the other hand, there are of course far better plain text editors
than Notepad. While I do my professional C# work in VS.NET (I'd prefer
Eclipse if it had a C# plugin of the same standard as its Java support,
but there we go) I usually write "throwaway" newsgroup programs in Jed
(a lightweight Emacs clone) - and for years I wrote all my Java that
way.

All I'm saying is that there are more low-end (and free) choices than
Notepad :)

That reminds me, the ONLY thing I miss about linux is joe...I wonder if
there is a windows version somewhere, even a 32bit console mode one.

Yes, you are free to give it away or sell it. The details are in the EULA
for the SDK.
