distribuiting programs made with the csharp compiler of framework SDK

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?

Hi Sam,

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.
