Does anyone know if one can distribute MSDE itself for free? I have an app that needs MSDE but I am not sure if I am breaking a licensing agreement if I distrubute this app and have MSDE setup include in my install files or if my install program installs MSDE. Can anyone tell me where to find the answer in black and white

Thanks
