SUMMARY
=======

may and may not distribute with your applications.
This information is also available in the Visual FoxPro Help file under
Distributable Files.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Distributable Files for Visual FoxPro
-------------------------------------
You may distribute any Visual FoxPro file that is not restricted. Pursuant to the
Microsoft License Agreement you received with Visual FoxPro, files must be
distributed in conjunction with a corresponding application. The following
guidelines apply to distributable files.
Setup Wizard
------------
Any files in the Visual FoxPro DISTRIB.SRC and SETUP directories that are
required to support a corresponding application may be distributed. When you use
the Setup Wizard to create distribution disks, it automatically places the
required files from these directories on the distributable disks in a compressed
format. Upon installation, these file are decompressed and are installed by name
in the appropriate directories on the user's computer. It is not necessary to
copy these files to your distribution tree.
Samples
-------
Files in the Visual FoxPro SAMPLES and API\SAMPLE directories are provided for
you to learn from and build on. Although you may not distribute unmodified
Visual FoxPro sample applications, you may refer to portions of sample
application code as examples for building your own application. If you use any
files in the Visual FoxPro SAMPLES or API\SAMPLE directories (including all
.BMP, .ICO, and .CUR files), these files must be included in your project and in
the application build. They must not appear by name on the distributable disks
and may not be distributed independent of your applications.
Class Libraries
---------------
You can use any .VCX file without modification in your applications. The
libraries must be included in your project and in your application build.
ODBC Files
----------
Please refer to the Microsoft License Agreement you received with Visual FoxPro
for specific restrictions with respect to your redistibution of ODBC files.
Restricted Files
----------------
Visual FoxPro contains many files that are licensed for your use only for design,
development, and testing purposes. See LICENSE.TXT, located in your Visual
FoxPro directory, for a list of restricted files.
If your application contains any of these files, remove them. Under the terms of
the Microsoft License Agreement you received with Visual FoxPro, you are not
permitted to ship these files in your application or on your disks. The Setup
Wizard checks for these files and will exclude them from distributable disk
sets. Do not assign these filenames to any files you distribute. The Setup
Wizard excludes any file that has a name identical to one on this list.
