EULAs Wanted

I am looking for online copies of the EULAs which came with Microsoft Visual Studio 6, and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, specifically the parts which deal with redistributing bits of it such as the C runtimes (MSVC6.dll, MSVC70.dll etc.). I can find several things on the web which might be it, but I can't be certain. Therefore, someone who owns a copy of Visual Studio needs to do the search and to confirm that the paper or electronic copy they got with it matches the URL they are giving to me :-)

If anyone has a copy of either of these two bits of software, I'd be very grateful if they'd do some Googling and try and find a match.

Update: if someone could also give me or point me to a definitive list of all recent and known future MS Visual Studio/C++ versions, with all their possible names and version numbers, that would also be very helpful.

Gerv,

http://www.devolution.com/pipermail/sdl/2004-September/064731.html contains an attachment that precisely matches my copy of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 'redist.txt' file.

I've uploaded both EULAs. http://b3virq3b.ecwhost.com/files/EULA6.TXT and http://b3virq3b.ecwhost.com/files/eula7.txt

I have the CD set and original paper copy of the VC++ pro 6.0 EULA

Any section specifically you want to have compared to a certain online version?

b3virq3b: great - thanks :-) Having read those, it would now be great to get the "redist.txt" file from Visual Studio 6. Could you supply that?

Here are the redist.txt files from VC6, 7, 7.1

smartcat99s: according to GeoCities, you've exceeded your data transfer limit :-( Can you email me the files?

Try http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/previous/default.aspx for past versions. Don't know about the future, though.

The redist.txt file for VS 2005 (version 8) is only a placeholder so far.

Mr.Gerv,

I found these two text files(EULA & REDIST) in my Visual Studio 6 CD.
I can upload files @ 2 KBps :-(, So i made redist.txt into 4 different parts.
I hope these are useful for U.

www.kishanbv.org/vs6(eula).txt
www.kishanbv.org/vs6(redist)1.txt
www.kishanbv.org/vs6(redist)2.txt
www.kishanbv.org/vs6(redist)3.txt
www.kishanbv.org/vs6(redist)4.txt

Gerv: I've sent the 3 redist.txt files to your mozilla.org address.

Thanks to everyone who helped. I'm still looking for the VS 2003 and 2005 EULAs.

www.kdz13.net/vs2003EULA.txt
www.kdz13.net/vs2005EULA.txt

These are from the disks we get as part of our MSDN subscription, so there's a possibility that they'd be different from the retail ones. The 2005 is from a DVD marked as "beta 2." Both files were in a Setup/ directory as eula.txt
