Hi, I’m not sure this is the right place for this post. I am busy creating a little software to manage EntireX brokers. I would like to release it as freeware, but I have questions regarding legal details : - If I release it as an executable, am I allowed to deliver it with with the broker32.dll library coming from the EntireX mini runtime ? - This software will have its associated website, and of course I will have to mention Softwareag and EntireX on this website. Am I allowed to do it ? Do I have to add some legal notice of any kind ? Thanks in advance for your help. Michel. ---

As I am neither a lawyer nor a legal advisor please do NOT take this as a legal advice, just food for thought: As the EntireX mini-runtime is free to download, why don’t you just mention it as a prerequisite for your tool and let users install it beforehand ? This comes with the advantage that site administrators have more control over who connects to a Broker, consider sites probably won’t be particularly happy when everyone within an organization can just download your tool and connect to any Broker on the network.

Indeed, excellent remark. I will follow this advice. Anyway, I think it’s not the right place to ask such questions… I’m gonna contact some support guy I know at SAG, for ansewers to my second question… Kind regards. Michel. ---
