I have one question about the wording though. The section
"Redistribution and USE (my emphasis) in source and binary forms". Does
this mean that if I build a set of tasks and compile them into a
separate assembly, but don't ship the NAnt libraries along with them (I
assume the people I am sending to already have them) I still have to
ship this license? Its not a major issue because I don't intend to
profit from the libraries - but its just one more thing I have to put in
the bundle (I want to be legally covered).
