IANAL, you should get the advice of one, blah, blah, blah.

Firstly, you are allowed unlimited personal distribution and distribution within your organization. It's only an issue at all if you want to redistribute outside your organization.

That said, If you use PAR to distribute ActiveState-based applications, I think you are limited to using the options that require your users to download the Perl libraries. In other words, you can sort of "dynamically link" against ActivePerl. However, it would seem from the terms that are included with Komodo Pro that anything you compile and ship out with PAR (since Komodo uses PAR for compilation anyhow) is an acceptable redistribution.

Those are what the ActiveState licenses seem to say to me. It is worthy of note, though, that there is a great deal of industry precedent to suggest that redistributing static-linked code is not the same as redistributing the packages themselves -- so, you might be OK to send a PAR-packed .exe, complete with libraries.

What I suggest is sending e-mail to ActiveState and asking them what their policy is. They may not explain all of your legal rights, but you'll know if they are likely to have a problem with what you plan to do or not. What ever they say, get it in writing.
