This is a licensing question:
We are building an administration tool in .Net that interacts, amongst other things, with IIS7 web applications. We have used Microsoft.Web.Administration to implement this, and it works very well. However, it is not clear that we can include that assembly
with our application when we supply it to clients.
I've found two sources for Microsoft.Web.Administration.
1) Enable IIS on a machine, and it is made available in a well-documented location
2) It is published as a NuGet package.
Using 1) would imply that we have to require users of our tool to have IIS enabled on the machine they are running it on, even though they may be using it to administer IIS on other servers. Not ideal, but we could live with it.
The NuGet package doesn't make any mention of how it is licensed. No license, to me, means you can't make any assumptions about what you can and can't do with it.
Can anyone point me at the license terms? Not "I think it is all right to...", but an official statement that I can present to our legal team.
