Hi all. This is a licensing questions.
Background:
I am using a WinForms application as a BI client heavily dependant on
OWC (Office web components). I want to extend the base functionality
of the OWC and this involves trapping events, adding new tollbar
buttons etc. To trap events using OWC with winForms you must modify
the default class wrappers and recompile the AxOWC10.dll...

Ok - fine no problem and works well enough. I now want to redistribute
my application that uses this recompiled OWC DLL but when I read this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...-us;555075#kb5
I get the feeling this is strictly no-no. Anyone have experience with
this? Am I missing something and is there a work around if I can't
legitimly redistribute the OWCs. |
