With respect to the question of "What is the MS license agreement for its C compiler?" I stand corrected. Even though I tried to stick to Cardinal Net Rule 1 (don't pass misinformation) by quoting their agree- ment... I quoted the wrong one. The broader topic of "Are shrink wrap agreements enforceable?" is a dead horse not worth rebeating.
