Does anyone know what is legal to use with DTS? It sounds like one can use DTS within SQL Server, but if you create an application that uses the DTS objects that may be illegal.

You are using the graphical DTS designer when you work with DTS packages in Enterprise Manager, but they are actually run by the DTSRUN utility which has no licensing requirement. If you create packages and save them to files instead of on the server, those files can be run from any computer that has DTSRUN, MDAC, and all the necessary drivers installed. If you develope programs using the DTS libraries, you can distribute them like any other program you write.
They give away the DTS runtime but charge you for the development tools, just like in the days of interpreted Visual Basic they did not license the VBRUN300 and VBRUN400 programs.
