Mediator, stop bending the EULA the way u want.
There are various editions of .net 2005 available.
Express edition is free, you can use it to study or make your own applications. You cannot sale these applications. You can either provide the source code for free or the compiled application for free but you cannot sale the applications u made using Free Express edition.
You cannot make hacks for the express edition to extend its capability. Yes there are limitations for developers, but deal with it cos u r getting it for free. If u don't like it, well buy it. Express edition is not meant for production, due to which pro developers don't use it. Students usually won't miss the Macro parts unless they are pro level at which they can get the full version. I hope you know what Macros do.
Using the Full edition, you can make any application u want. Now once you have made the application, you can give the source code & app for free, or sale the app for some price. There are no limitations in this IDE.
Under both circumstances you can modify the sample program source code that MS gives, however you cannot redistribute this modified sample code in the form of Source code cos the original source code is not meant to be distributed. You did not make it, you just modified it. You can however, compile the modified source code & distribute it as u like.
Oh...no, wait. You don't want to understand anything what the others tell you. You & Eddie, you both don't get how things work in Windows World....so according to you Windows & MS sux.....gr8 logic.

Yup, technical limitations in Free Edition, not the Pro edition. Well, like I said, deal with it cos u r getting it for free. If this doesn't suits you there are so many other IDEs available. Make something in that & then work for 4 months to optimise it for Windows.1. Laughable! May be coding under 'technical limitations' is the thing u have done from the start that u r so ignorant of what coding with full freedom means!
Actually, you just don't want to read or know the truth. MS is not open source. It protects the innovation & intellectuals property of the developers who want to sale there apps. The IDE works according to what you pay. MS isn't stopping you from developing your own App & giving away the source code for free. They are only stopping u from giving away the MS sample code in source code form for free. You can however distribute the compiled binary.2. Different price! And may be different set of restrictions again! It seems there is no such product covered under MS-EULA where there is no such 'restrictions'!
Do students have production environment? Oh wait....pro level developers have production enviroment but then again, they are pro level so that can buy the full edition. Hmm...nope, still not simple enough for ua. General. One user may install and use copies of the software to design, develop, test and demonstrate your programs. Testing does not include staging on a server in a production environment, such as loading content prior to production use.
Yup, you cannot distribute the MS Sample code for any other platform other then Windows cos it is made for Windows.• distribute Distributable Code, other than code listed in OTHER-DIST.TXT files, to run on a platform other than the Windows platform; shock: )
Oh...no, wait. You don't want to understand anything what the others tell you. You & Eddie, you both don't get how things work in Windows World....so according to you Windows & MS sux.....gr8 logic.
