Hi, what is the legal situation if I develop an open source framework and provide a binary download which contains a shared library which was generated with an intel compiler which has only evaluation license ?
Kind regards, Uwe.

You are not allowed to distribute code developed under an evaluation license. Such code is for your own personal testing use only. So you would not be allowed to provide a binary to anyone if it contains code compiled by an Intel compiler under an evaluation license. Quoting the license agreement:

ii. EVALUATION LICENSE: If you are using the Materials under the control of an Evaluation
license, you as an individual may use the Materials only for internal evaluation purposes and
only for the term of the evaluation time period, which may be controlled by the license key code
for the Materials. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN
THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY PORTION OF THE MATERIALS, AND
THE APPLICATION AND/OR PRODUCT DEVELOPED BY YOU MAY ONLY BE USED FOR
EVALUATION PURPOSES AND ONLY FOR THE TERM OF THE EVALUATION PERIOD.
You may install copies of the Materials on a reasonable number of computers to conduct your
evaluation provided that you are the only individual using the Materials and only one copy of the
Materials is in use at any one time. A separate license is required for each additional use and/or
individual user in all other cases. Intel may provide you with a license code key that enables the
Materials for an Evaluation license. If you are an entity, Intel grants you the right to designate
one individual within your organization to have the sole right to use the Materials in the manner
provided above.
