I have a question about the 3rd party license for WebView2.
[QUESTION]
Even if I only use a specific feature of the WebView2 runtime, such as "PDF display," do I need to comply with ALL 3rd party license terms referenced by WebView2?
[BACKGROUND OF THE QUESTION]
I'm trying to create a commercial C# Windows application using WebView2 runtime to do PDF viewing.
When you check the license terms by referring to "edge://credits/" included with WebView2, for example, the license for "core-common" is "the Android Software Development Kit License Agreement".
Section 3.1 states of the license, "Subject to the terms of the License Agreement, Google grants you a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive, and non-sublicensable license to use the SDK SOLELY TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS FOR COMPATIBLE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF ANDROID."
However, since I use WebView2 runtime to run Windows applications and not write Android applications, so I think that it does not meet the core-common licensing requirements.
Based on this point, I thought that the 3rd party license terms that should be observed when using WebView2 runtime could be considered only those related to the function to be used (PDF display). Is this understanding correct?
