The version that is generally available contains no such
permission. It requires that USE of the binding require
that you also use the SDK, but at least the version I have
access to says nothing about such distribution permission.
Can one assume that this is a special deal that Aonix
specifically made with Microsoft, or are you just assuming
that it is OK to distribute if you are sure users will be
properly licensed to use the bindings. On the face of it
the copyright is exactly that, a copyright that prohibits
copying.
