Actually, I just picked up a copy of MSVC 6.0 and it appears that they
changed the license between the original release and the Service Pack 3
release - they removed the bit in section 1.1 about requiring that you
be developing your software product only for use with a Microsoft OS.
In any case, even the original license explicitly says that the MFC
redistribution rights are *in addition* to the usage rights in
section 1.1.
The relevant portion of the original EULA:
1.1 General License Grant. Microsoft grants to you as an individual, a
personal, nonexclusive license to make and use copies of the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT for the sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing your
software product(s) that are designed to operate in conjunction with
any Microsoft operating system product. [Other unrelated stuff deleted]
>From the SP3 EULA:
3. Section 1.1 of the EULA is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
1.1 General License Grant. Microsoft grants to you as an individual, a
personal, nonexclusive license to make and use copies of the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT for the purpose of designing, developing, and testing your
software product(s). [Other unrelated stuff deleted]
Disclaimer - I am not a lawyer, but I've spent lots of time with them
investigating software licenses.
