RE: [Openexr-devel] openexr on windows

[Nick Porcino]

There is some debate on the Python developer lists about the "Legal"
link, which leads you to a "Terms of Use" link at the bottom of every
page on msdn. These terms of use refer to MSDN, not Visual Studio
Express.

This link appears on EVERY page of MSDN. cf.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx

Every product on msdn has got its own licensing terms. The FAQ on
Express is clear:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/

4. Can I use Express Editions for commercial use? 
 Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications built using
the Express Editions.

FWIW, all of OpenEXR builds and functions properly with the free express
versions of Visual Studio. I believe you can find tutorials on subbing
the command line free version of the msvc compiler into a build system
otherwise using mingw. I'm not the person to ask about that though :)

Hi James,

I don't have VS, this is (originally) a unix project and uses mingw to
build on windows. I work in a university so I could get a copy of VS
licensed to my machine, but I don't do all the packaging myself. I
make the windows binary as a zip and other people build installers
around them. I don't think I could guarantee that they have kosher
copies of VS.

It also looks like I have to include an installer with a click-through
EULA, which seems like a pain. Or maybe I don't, I'm really not sure.

The project is VIPS, if anyone is interested:

  http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk

We're about to release a new stable version and OpenEXR support is one
of the new features.

John
