Hello.
As I understand the DreamSpark license, it does not allow commercial use of the software acquired via DreamSpark.
I don't understand how that works with Visual Studio, though.
Is it the compilers? I thought Visual Studio Express has the same compilers.
Is it the IDE itself? How is that even legal? An IDE is like a keyboard. Such a license would be very absurd for a keyboard. And it is absurd for an IDE as well. It would make sense for a library, though.
And I have another question. How is it possible to determine whether a program was created using Visual Studio? Does Visual Studio leave its signature in the program?
I apologize for my ignorance. I have never used Visual Studio before, nor have I had much experience with law. I am likely missing a vital piece of information about Visual Studio, which makes this all make sense.
Thanks in advance.
