Sharing ASP.NET MVC applications [modified]
-
Hi, Like everybody else on this planet, I am currently working on a blogging engine using ASP.NET MVC :laugh: . I am planning to make this open source under GPL, with a requirement that people already have ASP.NET 3.5 already installed on their machines. Let us say that they do not already have ASP.NET MVC installed (on a shared host) But, since the application uses MVC, I would want to include the following references in the bin directory, * System.Web.Mvc * System.Web.Routing * System.Web.Abstractions (Source: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/03/bin-deploy-aspnetmvc.aspx[^]) My question is, Is it perfectly legal for me to include these DLLs in the bin directory when sharing the application? Thanks, Chandra

These will be available with everyone when they install ASP.NET MVC extensions. You don't have to supply those again. In fact, you don't have to supply any DLL you use. Just provide the source and build instructions. So people can build it and create the assemblies. :)

Thanks Navaneeth, I guess I can then add this to the requirement list. That people have ASP.NET MVC extensions installed and ready. That seems to be the best way. Have a good day :)

Yes. That'd be the obvious way. Good day to you too.
