Looked at it; it claims to be "free" software. Is it really? Anybody knows its license?
I've browsed quickly through the documentation that comes with MiKTeX, and I cannot find a license statement. The source to the program is available at:
(US) ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/source/
or
(DE) ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/source/
...so if you have a fast Internet connection, you could see if the license is in the source (I have a slow connection :-).
Anyway, a free, portable PDFTeX also exists.
A Win32 port of PDFTeX is included in MiKTeX.
