"SHTTPD": Windows web-server, light-weight, stand-alone and multi-platform (Unix, etc)

Hi, 
 
If you have already paid to use Windows server, then it is effectively a 'free product'. However you need to be specially licensed to see the source code.
 
You also get IIS5 with XP, but I would not recommend using that as it is not as secure.

The Tor team wants 'free software' not Microsoft
products.

Access to source code and ability to modifity source
code is one of the main legs of 'free software' and
not allowed by Microsoft.

Please read this page for a great definition of 'free
software':
