Thanks, I will look into the github repo. Although I think it's a bit confusing, since the steps you describe above lead to a requirement for the .net 8 runtime which leads to the following licensing information. It's not clear how to proceed with C# development as an open source language. I thought maybe it could be done by cloning Roslyn (MIT license) from github.
Do I need to accept the below licenses to develop a C# app? I'm not asking you specifically, just that I don't care to try and understand if I can even use the language without accepting any of the below, (anything not MIT or Apache)
License information for .NET on Windows
The Windows distribution of .NET contains files that are provided under multiple licenses. This information is provided to help you understand the license terms that apply to your use. By using any or all of these files you agree to their associated license terms.
The following binaries are licensed with the Windows SDK License:

The following binaries are licensed with the .NET Library License
Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.{x86|amd64|arm|arm64}.dll (used by .NET runtime and SDK) PresentationNative_cor3.dll (used by WPF) wpfgfx_cor3.dll (used by WPF) The following binaries are licensed with the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Software License:
vcruntime140_cor3.dll (used by WPF)
All other binaries and files are licensed with the MIT license
This document is provided for informative purposes only, and is not itself a license.
I'm still as confused. Where do people even find those? Are you sure you are not intentionally misinterpreting information? Because it does seem so.
In any case: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT
I followed your instructions, ran dotnet build, and attempted to run the debug build .exe.
I got a message "You must install .NET to run this application."
So I followed the link[0] given as part of the CLI output which led to the .Net Runtime installer. Inside the installer it stated "By clicking install, you must agree to the following terms" and a link[1] was part of the terms I must agree to.

[1]https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/license-information...
I would prefer not to accept non-MIT terms...
If text comprehension presents a significant challenge, you may want to consider other avenue of activity, over programming.
To those who are reading the thread, you are welcome to verify other claims made by the account I am responding to, which were proven by other participants false. This is a cheap trolling attempt and I think my response is the more polite way to share disappointment over this fact.
