While the open source movement is worth note. We work for money in the
Microsoft world. You really would need to charge for their code but you
most certainly can chrage what ever you can get for the code that runs
on it. If you are a contractor you can most certainly bill for any time
related to down loading it and set it up on systems that run your code.
If you are sell a product where your code stops and the dotnet framework
take over really isn't import in billing. The same would be true of the
Micrsoft Desk top engine. You techincally don't charge for that but if
it is part of your app which are you really charging for.
It free to distribute with your applications. Your application would
even run with out it so what are you really charging for. The answer is
(IMHO) the whole package.
Have fun and make money off of your hard work. If you want to give it
away you are more than welcome to do that too.
