Am I allowed...?

Post by XanSama »

Hey, I just devised a way to use the free version of madCodeHook in my (non commercial) app without visibly shipping the DLL. Am I allowed to do that? (I didn't modify the dll at all)

That's up to Mathias.

What do you mean by not a visible madchook dll?

1.) Changing the DLL file attribs to hidden?

2.) Hooking system shell functions to hide the DLL's visual presence?

3.) Storing madchook dll in a resource file and loading it's functions directly from your applications memory without needing to load from disk?
(harder but I've seen it done, not with madchook though)
