Licensing and CVS and all that good stuff

A few questions

1. If people plan to develop in teams will they need multiple licenses to run XNA Express on multiple computers EVEN if they only plan to compile and run code on ONE Xbox360?

2. Will there be a creative license under which we must publish our code, or can we choose any OpenSource license, and if so, which is "the best"?

3. Will MS provide a CVS like system for teams to share there code amognst themselves, or is that the responsibilty of the of the team?

4. If 3 is false, what is a good system for sharing code SECURLY over the internet(and please dont say email), are CVS or SVN good, and if so whats an easy way to set such up and do any companies offer CVS or SVN hosting?

5. Would SourceForge be a good place to use for CVS or can anyone modify our teams code?

Basiclly whats a good way to privately trade and save code amongst team members

Hi Kevin.

1) If you only plan on deploying/running code on a single Xbox 360, you only have to pay for a single license.

2) On Windows, we [MSFT] make no restriction to licensing. On Xbox 360, you can choose how to publish your code as long as it is non-commercial.

3, 4, 5) Check out http://www.codeplex.com/.
