Post25 Apr 2007 22:54   Software

Hi all,


I was wondering: is it legal to be a software consultant and use free software to make applications work for companies?

An example: a company asks a software consultant to do an automation task in Excel, May the software consultant write the code without filling the pockets of microsoft if the company and the software consultant has a legal version of excel?


Another example: May a software consultant use Visual Basic express edition to program a small office tool for a company and ask money for it?

May a software consultant write software in dev-cpp that he sells?

May a Libero IDE user (free ACTEL FPGA SOFTWARE) sell its programmed FPGA to a company?

Thank you,

From the microsoft website:
- Can I use Express Editions for commercial use?
- Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications built using the Express Editions.

dev-cpp
- Yes

Libero IDE
-Yes

I dont understand the excel question.
