Thank you Ian.
and for others interested...reading all the licensing documentation once again (slowly)...my take is that yes, i can just give what i have written away. i have used the example code to get an idea for how to do the things i need and written my own implementations. i am not including any SW applications, only my own. also, made every effort to keep the ant key non-decompilable. aside from the libraries included with the ANT API there is nothing custom being included with what i distribute aside from what i have written.
thanks,
scott
