Only shows how tech-litterate you are. There's a much smaller download with just the EULAs: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/7/a/f7ad6880-50d4-48b1-81cf-bd8f6a8b3abc/directx_9c_eulas.exe Maybe this file needs a proper set of steps in order to download. That thing that looks like an hash seems a hint of such a thing. I said that it certainly allowed linking. And guess what, it does. But you can't license your own product under certain terms as, for instance, the GNU GPL. The license actually imposes a certain set of additional restrictions like keeping your work proprietary. :) It doesn't have to say the word "link" (the GNU GPL doesn't either, except in the _post_ legal terms section that contains an example of applying the GNU GPL. But notice that they do impose many more restrictions than the GNU GPL does... Rui
