Licensing stuff...

OK, so I'm just starting out looking into making apps and maybe portablizing(?) some others and now I'm confused about licensing again.

Looking at the Autoruns PA page, I see it's listed as freeware. However, according to it's help file:

"You may not distribute Autoruns without permission from Sysinternals. To request permission contact licensing@sysinternals.com."

Also the EULA states:

You may not:

* work around any technical limitations in the binary versions of the software;
* reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the binary versions of the software, except and only to the extent that
applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;
* make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
* publish the software for others to copy;
* rent, lease or lend the software;
* transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
* use the software for commercial software hosting services.

Pretty strict stuff.

There is nothing on the Autoruns PA page which indicates such permission was given. However, I don't doubt such was in fact given.

My question is, if we do get permission for something like this, where / how are we obligated to state that? What proof do we need to include with the PA launcher? Can we modify the EULA to indicate permission was given?

Thanks!!
