INTEL DOES NOT PERMIT DISTRIBUTION OF DEVELOPER SOFTWARE THAT STATICALLY LINKS AGAINST THE 9.x IPP ?
It appears as though the IPP 9.x software may be distributed with my software when using dynamic linking. (I am a licensee)
It appears as though the IPP 9.x software may not be distributed as part as a derivative work when linked using the IPP 9.x static libraries.
The IPP 8.x software did allow my software to be distributed when linked against the 8.x IPP static libraries.
Did this change on purpose?
DOES INTEL INTEND THAT PURCHASERS OF THE IPP 9.x ONLY BE ABLE TO USE THE
STATIC LIBRARIES INTERNALLY TO THEIR COMPANY?
Why does this appear to be the case?
The Intel Master EULA for Intel Software Development Products only
permits distribution of "Redistributables", including derivative works.
The IPP 8.x redist.txt included the ipp*.lib files in the list of Redistributables in the redist.txt file.
The IPP 9.x redist.txt does not include the ipp*.lib files in the list of Redistributables in the redist.txt file.
THIS MEANS LICENSEES OF THE IPP MAY NOT STATICALLY LINK AGAINST 9.X
AND DISTRIBUTE THE DERIVATIVE WORKS, UNLESS I MISUNDERSTAND.
IS THIS TRUE, AND IS THIS THE INTENT BY INTEL TO PROHIBIT LICENSEES
FROM STATICALLY LINKING AND DISTRIBUTING THEIR DERIVATIVE WORKS?

Please view the redist.txt from IPP 9.x, there are no *.lib files.
Please view the redist.txt from IPP 8.x, all the *.lib files are listed.
Please comment about whether this is true or not, or please put me in contact with the correct person at Intel to confirm that Intel intends to restrict purchasers from distributing the purchasers software if it has been statically linked against the IPP 9.x *.lib files.
Thank you, Cameron
