I was looking at the MSVC EULA's again. In order for you to nail this completely. The M$ license says that you cannot distribute a package that equals to the sum of it's parts. You can't just distribute IE MFC and so on just by themselves. They must be as a part of a none-trivial application with a distinguished new functionality that uses the redistributable .
Yikes. That sounds highly dubious indeed - who defines "non-trivial"? Are they really allowed to enforce this kind of garbage?
If you want I can send you a flash game. (copyrighted to a friend) that can be embedded inside an IE control.Than you have installed a game not Just IE and MFC, but you do need them to run the game.
Well, that might be an idea, but I get the distinct feeling that we're playing games here (no pun intended) - dancing around the wording of a probably unenforceable document makes me a bit nervous. Who says a game counts as non-trivial?
