Sysinternals Software to stay Free

DavidGP · Aug 1, 2006

The important bit for Geeks from Marks, post on his website in relation to those free tools of his we know and love....

Probably of most importance, however, is the outcome of the various meetings I’ve had with the Sysinternals/Winternals integration team. I’m pleased to report that Microsoft’s number one priority is not only keeping the tools freely available, but preserving the Sysinternals community including the newsletter, the forums, and my blog. While we’re still brainstorming how to make this successful in the long term, I’m pleased to announce the first step in the transition, which is the introduction of a new Sysinternals EULA, that I believe is even more permissive than the EULA in place before the Microsoft acquisition, since it allows for wider use of Sysinternals utilities within a company.

Great News

I thought so too Matt, best move MS could have made, gains them a nice core user base, especially with not breaking up Sysinternals forums and webs.

It may well have been a condition of the aquisition I doubt Mark or Bryce would have agreed to move sysinternals or wininternals to MS unless this had been the case. Hopefully they will do some great work at MS and continue writing great tools.
