IVI Distribution Question

Would it be legal to distribute NI's IVI engine installation package
along with a driver, in order to make sure that users can use the
driver? There is no licensing information included with the free IVI
engine download, so my initial thought would be that it is okay, as long
as it has not been changed in anyway.

We are looking into this since, unlike VISA, IVI is not distributed with
instrumentation hardware, and thus is only available via the web.
Therefore we wish to make the IVI engine available to those who, as
unlikely as it may seem, do not have web access, or who do not wish to
go to the trouble of downloading the engine.

Thanks,

Scott

The IVI engine is freely distributable as is all the software available for
free download on ni.com.
