How does Redgate actually prevent us from using version 6?
It does not seem that Reflector checks for updates at startup.
It does also not seem that version 6.6.0.30 uninstalls itself in case an update is available. Neither for minor updates nor for major ...
There is a file called cecil_LICENSE.txt, but it is not stated for what exactly it applies. If Reflector.exe uses parts of software which make this license necessary, them I am allowed to deal in the Software without restriction [image] , which means:
- Maybe I cannot get the source code
- I may hack it and remove the time limitation
- I may redistribute the hacked version
I am not so sure whether other limitations from License_DotNetReflector.txt can be applied.
In chapter 4, Red-Gate tries to make it a non-transferrable license. This is in contrast to the Cecil license, which allows "publish, distribute, sublicense".
Actually it seems quite similar to GPL in terms of a viral license, except the availability of source code.
BTW: there seems to be no license for RedGate.Reflector.Addin.dll at all.
I think it's worth having a look at the license exactly at this point in time. / comments

Mono.Cecil License
I just read the license terms. From the Mono.Cecil license I derive that Reflector is free to modify.
It seems there are 2 licenses for Reflector, but I prefer the Mono.Cecil license.
:idea: We should ask Lutz to make his version open source if he did not sell it to RedGate. Maybe he still owns the initial creator rights and is able to do so.
This will bring us some years back, but that's not too bad. / comments

I vote for the open source idea. If Red Gate cannot come up for the cost, let SourceForge do it. / comments
