Licence options for the generated model

Hi,

I'm working on a model to generate code for Castle ActiveRecord, a framework running on top of NHibernate. (See http://altinoren.com/PermaLink,guid,86dce2d8-83d4-46e3-906c-12ca14df5380.aspx)

The question is, can I opensource my project? Obviously, parts of the project is built by DSLTools, with Microsoft.VisualStudio.Moelling... references etc. If DSL tools, on the other hand, would be a part of the VS and not the SDK, this wouldn't be an issue, I believe.

Any help?

Thanks.

I'm not sure I'll be able to give you a definitive answer - general rule is that we (Microsoft) do not give legal advice. You should seek independent legal advice if your are unsure about the license terms. I can tell you that DSL Tools, as part of the VS SDK is governed by the VS SDK license, and up to now the DSL Tools component has only been released as a technical preview (CTP) which further restricts what can be done with it. For example, you are not allowed to redistribute the DSL Tools runtime, required for a designer to work on a machine without the VS SDK installed. Soon (within the next couple of weeks) DSL Tools V1 releases as part of the VS SDK V3, removing these additional restrictions.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the SDK license.

And I'm waiting for the v1, not because that distribution restriction you mentioned, but to wet my hands on the final product. It's a great tool, and I'm quite excited about the completed designer you have mentioned on your blog.
