Hello David-Engel - apologies for responding on an old thread, but we are hoping you can point us in the right direction. Our updated product relying on the new Microsoft ODBC 17 driver is in release testing, and we are looking to make sure msodbcsql.msi can be distributed together with our installer package in its original, unmodified form.
Our Architect has a concern regarding the highlighted section of the License doc:
DISTRIBUTABLE CODE. The software may contain code you are permitted to distribute (i.e. make available for third parties) in applications you develop, as described in this Section.
Distribution Rights. The code and test files described below are distributable if included with the software.
REDIST.TXT Files. You may copy and distribute the object code form of code listed on the REDIST list in the software, if any, or listed at REDIST;
Third Party Distribution. You may permit distributors of your applications to copy and distribute any of this distributable code you elect to distribute with your applications.
We've searched high and low, but cannot find a REDIST.TXT for this package. The "if any" in the clause suggests it's possible there isn't one, but we want to be absolutely sure we're in compliance before launching.
If you are not the best resource for this question, I'd be grateful if you could point us in the right direction!
Many thanks,
Jon
