Description
Describe the bug
A few years ago, I created #3498 where I reported that the licence terms of the "Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" NuGet package don't permit redistribution of the bootstrap DLL. Since then, its licence was amended, and a provision permitting the redistribution was added:
i. Any files that are binplaced with your application by the WindowsAppSDK NuGet package are, by definition, permitted to be redistributed. This applies to both framework package dependent and self-contained deployments.
However, the bootstrap DLL was moved to a new NuGet package, "Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation", and that package uses the old license without the redistribution clause.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Read the licence of the "Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation" NuGet package
- Compare it to the licence of the "Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" package
Expected behavior
The entire point of the bootstrap DLL is that it should be redistributed. The licence should permit it.
