    Hi Jason,

    In our teleconference last year with Ben an Lorna you mentioned 3 ways
    in which you believed I may be in breach of Microsoft's license terms.
    On this basis that Ben requested that I comply and take down support
    for the Express SKU's.

    1) You said that by using Intellisense I may be in breach of the
    dissasembly clause in the VS SDK license.
    2) You said that by working out how to use an API by looking at the
    public type and method names I may be in breach of the reverse
    engineering clause in the VS SDK license.
    3) You said that by adding a button to the Express SKU interface I may
    be in breach of Microsoft's copyright.

    After the teleconference I said that I would need a statement that I
    could give to my users about why the Express SKU was no longer
    supported. I continue to get emails asking why TestDriven.NET no
    longer works with Express. Please can you confirm that the points
    above are why you believe I was in violation.

    Regards,
    Jamie.

    Jason,

    Your delayed response leads me question whether you ever had
    reason to believe I was in violation of Microsoft's license terms. If this
    is not the case I request that you let me know immediately. Any further
    delay will lead me to re-enable Express SKU support without notice.

    Regards,
    Jamie.

    Jamie, for the reasons we discussed at great length, we believe your
    various extensions to the Visual Studio Express products necessarily
    violated the relevant license terms. We don't think it's productive to
    rehash those discussions. Instead, we encourage you to focus your
    energies on legitimately extending the Visual Studio products, as
    permitted under the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program and
    the associated terms and conditions.

    Thank you, Jason Weber
