Is Visual C++ express really free?

It is worth pointing out one other item that is related to the questions asked in this thread. My comment is based on what I've been told, so EULAs are the best place for clarification.

Everything said about Express Editions of Visual Studio still stands. The one area where you want to use caution is if you are a student and you are using a copy of Visual Studio (other than Express Edition) provided by the school for free or for the cost of the disks. These academic editions often do have a restriction against distributing corporate copies of created software as they are licensed only for learning.

Brad!
