What files am i allowed to redistribute with my applications

If you have Delphi Desktop, you are allowed to redistribute run-time versions of the Borland Database Engine and of ReportSmith. Of course, you can also distribute the EXE or DLL files you create yourself. Borland has some rather odd and overly restrictive licensing terms; for example, your programs are required to bear a valid copyright notice (if not yours, then Borland's)--which seems to mean that you can't create public domain applications using Delphi. Also, if you distribute the Borland Database Engine, you are required to send out the whole thing with all relevant drivers. This is because other, previously-installed applications may also use BDE functions, and if you take away their drivers, well, that's a bad thing.
