Am I allowed to redistribute only parts of the DirectX package? (e.g. only the DirectDraw DLLs, without Show/3D/etc.)

+3  A: 

No. From the DirectX SDK Redist EULA:

DirectX Software Development Kit Redistributable Code

Redistributable Code is identified as all of the files in the following "Redist" directory on the DirectX SDK CD/Download:

redist/

The following files in the above directory must be included in any distribution of the DirectX Runtime.

DSetup32.dll DSetup.dll DXSetup.exe DXupdate.cab dxdllreg_x86.cab

a EULA is an END-USER license. Where can one find the developer license?

Yes. The DirectX SDK EULA is the EULA for END-USERS of the SDK.
