Hi John,
          For the File GDB API issue, you are correct, the license does make an exception for the FileGDB API, so yes, they can redistribute the DLLs.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

I’ve been having some issues with my emails, so I’m not sure you got this message yesterday.  I also have an additional item to add anyways, so here goes.


One last question related to redistribution of the File GDB API’s DLLs.  The Gov’t of Yukon would like to build an app the package’s and re-distributes the DLLs for the File GDB API, they are bit confused by some of the wording in the license.  I believe the license allows them to do this.  They’re hung up on the following clause in the license:

4.2 Uses Not Permitted
[...]
b. Except as provided herein, Licensee shall not redistribute Software, Data, or Web Services to third parties, in whole or in part, including, but not limited to, extensions, components, or DLLs.

The license seems to go on and make an exception for the File GDB API, so I think they can redistribute these libraries, but I just need confirmation.

Thanks,
John O
