Hello,
I do not know if this is right group. If not, Please let me know the
correct group to Post.

I am planning to develop an application where the users will be given
provisions to write their own scripts and execute. I am planning to use
VBScript and WSH (which is available in all versions of Windows). Does WSH,
VBScripts protected licenses ? Is there any open source script and script
interpreters available ? If I could develop such an application with
scripting facility using VBScript and WSH can I make it commercial ?

Thanks and Regards
Ram

Interesting question. I don't see any license in the
installer or in the help file. It's been coming pre-installed
since Windows 2000, I think, so that makes it like part
of the API. You don't need a license to use the API. That's
what the Windows price tag is for. There are also Windows
API interfaces (IActiveScript, I think) for what you want to
do.

Yes, you can *try* to sell your software. But shareware
is tough to sell as it is. There are already free/OSS tools
that extend VBScript. There are already other free scripting
and programming tools. And it sounds like you're reinventing
the wheel. You didn't describe any new features or
advantages of your software. It sounds like you're just thinking
of writing a wrapper for the Windows script interpreter. Usually
when people do that it's for automation of some other software.

Further to my response in the .WSH group, either is appropriate. But it
would have been more appropriate to have cross-posted to these groups rather
than submitting identical posts to both (multiposting).

Many thanks to both Al and Mayayana.

As Al has stated " I would be distributing an application that, when used
as directed, the user would develop his own VBScripts that would be run by
my application ". This is part of an automation project which I am involved
with.

I have also come across MS Script control which I think I can use it in my
application for running scripts. There are open source c# script engines too
available which gives me other alternatives. Anyways, thanks for your posts.

Thanks and Regards
Ram
