Can I sell applications created using VS2008 from DreamSpark? [closed]

My version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is downloaded from DreamSpark. Does my license include the rights to sell any created application?

I found : "you must use them in pursuit of increasing your education..." (https://www.dreamspark.com/FAQ/StudentOverview.aspx)

My main pursuit is to learn.

Edit :

  1. Seems like I cannot actually sell applications. What about selling access to "premium"-suff on a developed server created with a DreamSpark-product?

  2. Can I import VS2008-projects to VS2008 Express?

Thanks for answers!

Well, IANAL, but some quick searches yield

one here (emph mine)

Microsoft licenses the software to you for educational use. This means that you can use the software without restriction for school assignments or personal projects. If you write or design something that you wish to sell, however, you need to purchase a standard licensed copy of the Microsoft software before you sell your product.

Perhaps use the Express Editions instead? There aren't any restrictions here, except for the bits of VS missing from the free edition.
