I am not a lawyer and I could read incorrectly but this is what I saw in win32/INSTALL file of clisp at http://clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net/clisp/clisp/win32msvc/INSTALL?revision= 1.21&view=markup: Installation on Win32 (WinNT, Win95) using the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 ======================================================================== ==== or MSVC7.0 development environment, using native system calls ============================================================= ** Note! Binaries created with MSVC 7.0 with MFLAGS=-MD should not be distributed: They depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system. Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0 and earlier. May be 90 is different, and may be I got expression from wrong source However another big problem is size of these DLLs > > What is NOT allowed is to install the library into > "$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}\\system32", > but that is a bad idea anyways. > > But as I wrote originally, it is best if you don't need any additional > runtime library at all, which is the case for VC6 and MinGW. yes, very true Best regards, Vadim.
