• George_egroeG Legal to distrubute ping.exe and tree.com with product for win98 that does not have it in system32 or system?

  Is it legal to distrubute ping.exe and tree.com with product for win98 that does not have it in system32 or system from xp pro or home I'd say no. These are operating system files. I've never found any EULA or agreement that allows you to distribute OS files - and I've read quite a lot of EULAs lately. There is a redist.txt file which indicates which files you are allowed to distribute. Do you need to distribute ping or could you ...Show All
