Microsoft Reciprocal License (Ms-RL)

This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the software, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license, do not use the software.

1. Definitions

The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works," and "distribution" have the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law.

A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to the software.

A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this license.

"Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its contribution.

2. Grant of Rights

(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.

(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works of the contribution in the software.

3. Conditions and Limitations

(A) Reciprocal Grants- For any file you distribute that contains code from the software (in source code or binary format), you must provide recipients the source code to that file along with a copy of this license, which license will govern that file. You may license other files that are entirely your own work and do not contain code from the software under any terms you choose.

(B) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.

(C) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.

(D) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the software.

(E) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a license that complies with this license.

(F) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

STSDEV 1.4 contains a number of improvements to the 1.3 version of the tool.

Here are the features of this release:

The ability to change the feature icon that shows up in features. Also, having no icon is now a valid option.
The default application pool can be selected. This is helpful for when you build and a GAC update requires the application pool to be recycled.
Now, IIS 6 or IIS 7 can be targeted. This affects the how the application pool is restarted only during development, since there are different commands for IIS 6 and IIS 7.
Creating Visual Studio 2008 3.5 projects now works.
Now, all projects support the ASP.NET design-time experience. This enables you to see ASCX user controls in the designer.
Workflow support can now be added to any project.
Release builds actually produce a WSP with a release-built assembly. Prior to this, all assemblies were built in debug mode.
Code-behind files can now be used and any code file can be used within the RootFiles structure for a more intuitive experience. These code files are excluded from WSP generation.
When projects are under source control, the manifest.xml and solutionpackage.ddf files are automatically made writable during build. This prevents a nasty error message for people who just want to build the solution.
Building in release mode no longer deletes the solutionpackage.ddf.
Dependency on MSBuild removed.
MSI Installer
Backwards compatible with STSDEV 1.3.

Reviews for this release

Sorry for the poor rating, excellent tool but pretty pointless. Nobody should waste their time, there are better standard approaches using wspbuilder spvisualdev etc The output is from a different era and is incredibly inflexible, seriously, unless you want to learn the manic way to build sharepoint solutions, drop this project in the bin and move on.

Any plan to support vb.net soon?
