License explanations

Consoul redistributable files are consoul_XXYYZZ_32.dll and consoul_XXYYZZ_64.dll, where XX is a two digits version major number like 01, YY is a two digits version minor number like 02, and ZZ is a two digits version revision number like 05. The _32 and _64 suffixes in the name reference builds for Windows 32bits systems up from Windows 7, respectively 64bits builds up from Window 7. These are the Consoul DLLs.

All other downloadable material from this site, like documentation, source code (classes, modules, headers. etc...) are not to be redistributed, but - except for the documentation - can be freely integrated in your application sources and modified therein assuming you agree to the license terms and conditions.

Also, this basically means that one "Single Developer License", involves one developer.
