Hey all,

Please point me to the approprate (or at least *more* appropriate)
newsgroup if this isn't the correct one, I was looking for something
like platformsdk.misc, but apparently it doesn't exist. :\

Redist.txt in the pSDK\License directory lists "strsafe.lib" as being
redistributable. However, as far as I can see, redistributing a lib
without the appropriate header file doesn't make much sense. Is
strsafe.h redistributable as well?

Good point. In fact, that could be said for all of the .libs that are listed
as redistributable: either a .h file or a .dll file or both is needed to
make use of them. Doesn't sound like there's much point in redistributing
it.

Precisely. Unfortunately, I am required to either provide strsafe.h or
stop using it. Is there no way for me to distribute strsafe.h along with
strsafe.lib?

In fact, I could even do without the .lib and just require the use of
the inline functions. But that's besides the point.
 
I asked someone from the Platform SDK team. It doesn't seem to make much
sense to me either.
