Redistrubuting AutoIt3 Files with AutoIt3 based Programs


Recommended Posts

I have an application that I want to have a Program Directory listing similar to this:
 

Quote

include
  autoit3
    APIComConstants.au3
    APIConstants.au3
    ...
  myinclude1.au3
  myinclude2.au3
module1
  main.au3
module2
  main.au3
Launcher_AutoIt3_x64.exe
Launcher_AutoIt3_x86.exe

The include directory will include my include files along with a copy of the AutoIt3 includes.
The module directories would contain modules to run and the Launcher_AutoIt3_ARCH.exe file would be the only compiled script with the purpose of running scripts in the module directories.

The program would be open source so distributing it's files as plain text files won't be an issue.

What I'm wondering is if I can redistribute the autoit3 include files with my program and store the program files with the autoit3 includes in a public repository on a service like GitHub.

So from Cursory reading yes it should be allowed but you need to comply with their licensing for THEIR Portions of the source code

Thanks for the links.
It appears that I can redistribute any part of AutoIt3 as long as long as the all the legal notices stay intact and I include a copy of the AutoIt3 EULA with my software.
