I'm not terribly familiar with these two licenses. I don't see any reason why both couldn't be distributed together (in source or binary form) along wi...
I need to make changes to an library licensed under Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL). The altered library will become part of the product that I'm working on. Item 3(C) in the license states: If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in t...

Both libraries are included in my application as dll's without any modification. iTextSharp is under Affero GPL, while DotNetZip is under Microsoft Public License. The license of my application is planne...
