Hello, thanks for your code and can you please add a License file to see under what restrictions this code can be used?

Hello SilviaIenciu, thanks for pointing out. But I'm afraid it might be kinda tricky. Personally I think you can use it whatever you like to. However since it is a part of the Microsoft VC5.0 redistributable, which contains a EULA, I am not sure what procedure is appropriate for such situation.

Hers is the EULA provided in installation notice:

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ VERSION 5.0

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This Microsoft End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft software product identified above, which includes computer software and may include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation ("SOFTWARE PRODUCT"). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT; you may, however, return it to your place of purchase for a full refund.

SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE

The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.
1.  GRANT OF LICENSE.  This EULA grants you the following rights:
    a.  Software Product. Microsoft grants to you as an individual, a personal, nonexclusive license to make and use copies of the SOFTWARE for the sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing your software product(s). Except as provided in Section 2(a), you may install copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on an unlimited number of computers provided that you are the only individual using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. If you are an entity, Microsoft grants you the right to designate one individual within your organization to have the right to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in the manner provided above.
    b.  Electronic Documents. Solely with respect to electronic documents included with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you may make an unlimited number of copies (either in hardcopy or electronic form), provided that such copies shall be used only for internal purposes and are not republished or distributed to any third party.
    c.  Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on your other computers over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate a license for each separate computer on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is installed or run from the storage device. A license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
    d.  Sample Code and Microsoft Foundation Classes. In addition to the rights granted in Section 1(a), Microsoft grants you the right to use and modify the source code version of those portions of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that are identified: (i) as the Microsoft Foundation Classes ("MFC"); and (ii) as sample code in the documentation and/or listed in the subdirectory devstudio\vc\samples located in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (collectively, "SAMPLE CODE"), for the sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing your software product(s), provided that you comply with Section 1(f), below.
    e.  Redistributable Files. Provided that you comply with Section 1(f) (and Section 1(g) if applicable), In addition to the rights granted in Section 1(a), Microsoft grants you a nonexclusive, royalty-free right to reproduce and distribute the object code version of the following portions of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (collectively, the "REDISTRIBUTABLES"): (i) SAMPLE CODE (including any modifications you make); (ii) MFC (including any modifications you make); and (iii) the files identified in the Redistrb.wri file located in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. For purposes of this section, "modifications" shall mean enhancements to the functionality of the MFC or Sample Code.
    f.  Redistribution Requirements. If you redistribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES, you agree to: (i) distribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES in object code only in conjunction with and as a part of a software application product developed by you that adds significant and primary functionality to the REDISTRIBUTABLES ("Application"); (ii) not use Microsoft's name, logo, or trademarks to market your software application product; (iii) include a valid copyright notice on your software application product; (iv) indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Microsoft from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attorney's fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of your software application product; (v) not permit further distribution of the REDISTRIBUTABLES by your end user. The following exceptions apply to subsection (f)(v), above: (1) you may permit further redistribution of the REDISTRIBUTABLES by your distributors to your end-user customers if your distributors only distribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES in conjunction with, and as part of, your Application and you and your distributors comply with all other terms of this EULA; and (2) provided that your end users comply with all other terms of this EULA, you may permit your end users to reproduce and distribute the object code version of the files listed below ("COM Redistributables") only in conjunction with the redistribution of a Component Object Model (COM) object (e.g., an ActiveX control) designed for use or development of an Application and/or Web page that adds significant and primary functionality to the COM Redistributables. COM Redistributables: MSVCRT.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL, MFC42.DLL, ATL.DLL, MSSTKPRP.DLL, MSVCIRT.DLL, and AXDIST.EXE.
    g.  Microsoft Office Redistributable Components. If you are developing, for commercial distribution, a general-purpose word-processing, spreadsheet, or database management software product, or an integrated work or product suite whose components include a general-purpose word-processing, spreadsheet, or database management software product, the files comprising Microsoft JET database functionality ("JET Files") may not be used or reproduced with your software product, unless your product requires your customers to license Microsoft Office for Windows, or a component of it, in order to operate. The JET Files subject to this provision are: Vbar332.dll, Msexcl35.dll, Msjet35.dll, Msjint35.dll, Msjter35.dll, Msltus35.dll, Mspdox35.dll, Msrd2x35.dll, Msrepl35.dll, Mstext35.dll, Msxbse35.dll, Msexch35.dll, DAO350.dll, DAO2535.tlb, MSRDO20.dll, or RDOCurs.dll. Note: A product that includes limited word-processing, spreadsheet, or database components along with other components that provide significant and primary value, such as an accounting product with limited spreadsheet capability, is not considered a "general-purpose" product.
    The JET Files may be redistributed, subject to Section 1(f), with your commercially redistributed product in the event that your software product is using the JET Files exclusively for importing or exporting data to the various formats supported by the JET functionality and included in your software product (e.g., reading data from and writing data to a single data source at one time).
