I am using Telerik Rad Controls for Silverlight that is intended to be used in a commercial product which seems perfectly fine as long as I say in the about box that it uses it I believe.
However, Telerik has a folder containing 12 licenses that it uses. Now my question is, do I need to redistribute all of these licenses along with my product also? I am thinking that if you use a number of products each with different licenses that you soon end up having a large number in the finished product. Is that correct?
From my understanding of RadControls, you need to recompile the assemblies using protection that only your app can load. Then you can redistribute the software as long as you give proper copyright messages for telerik:
