4.2. Uses Not Permitted. ... c. Distribute Software, Data, or Online Services to third parties, in whole or in part including, but not limited to, extensions, components, or DLLs.
Few questions: - May I distribute my software that uses ArcGIS API for WPF? - May I publish my software's sources (to GitHub, for example) and include dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF (and include your license as txt file)? May I include API setup files? - May I distribute my software via NuGet and put dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF inside the package?
- May I distribute my software that uses ArcGIS API for WPF?
Yes, you may distribute the ArcGIS API for WPF assemblies along with your software but it must be as part of a compiled application, as an end product.
- May I publish my software's sources (to GitHub, for example) and include dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF (and include your license as txt file)? May I include API setup files?
You are welcome to post your source code on GitHub but this must not include the dlls from the ArcGIS API for WPF - in order to access these, other developers must download and install the ArcGIS API for WPF.
- May I distribute my software via NuGet and put dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF inside the package?
We currently do not distribute the ArcGIS API for WPF via NuGet and therefore any users of your package would need to install the ArcGIS API for WPF to support their development - i.e currently the same scenario as for GitHub.
As I mentioned in your previous post - we are actively investigating ways in which we can make access to our APIs/SDKs more convenient and flexible - including hosting them on NuGet as packages.

Can I ask you one more question, please?
Regarding existing Esri NuGet packages for Silverlight API. If I install the silverlight package into my project then I won't be able to post source code of that project on GitHub, am I right? NuGet packages from Esri are for closed source projects only?
