[Dailydave] The Assimilation of Sysinternals

[Nicolas RUFF]

	Hello,

I think you missed part of the point :

---
Q: How many copies of Sysinternals utilities may I freely load or use on
computers owned by my company?
A: There is no limit to the number of times you may install and use the
software on your devices.
---
Q: May I freely load or use Sysinternals utilities on computers that I
support but do not own?
A: No. You will need to contact Microsoft Sysinternals Licensing
(syslic at microsoft.com) and inquire about fee based licensing options.

I cannot find the prices on the website, but you got the idea ... BTW,
have a look at those :

---
Q: Can I license or re-use any Sysinternals source code?
A: No. We will no longer offer the Sysinternals source code for download
or license.
---
Q: Will Microsoft migrate and host all the Sysinternals tools?
A: No. A small number of tools were identified for removal before the
acquisition. We worked very closely with Mark Russinovich to determine
which tools to migrate. That said, a majority of the tools will be
migrated which include the latest and most popular tools. In addition,
we will be open to resurrecting old tools based on community requests.
---
Q: Will Microsoft change the licensing agreement for the Sysinternals
tools and their use?
A: Yes, but we've made the license terms more liberal. Companies can now
install and use the software throughout their organization, as opposed
to a single user limitation.
