Does anyone happen to know if the folks at Red-Gate used a public SDK
to create the log explorer, or did they fork over money to microsoft to

get a ISV licensed SDK?

I'm looking into making a similar product that would be open source,
and I'm trying to figure out what they used to translate entries in the

log to something that is readable by the human eye.

There is no SDK for that. MS does not publish that information on purpose
and is subject to change at any time. Most of the vendors started by reverse
engineering the log entries.
