Am I required to distribute my applications designed for Windows(r) phones in Marketplace?

The goal of Windows Marketplace for Mobile is to provide distribution and monetization opportunities to developers. You are not required to distribute your apps here; you are free to distribute your applications anywhere you choose.

Participation in Windows Marketplace for Mobile does not require you to distribute your application exclusively in Marketplace unless you and Microsoft have agreed on exclusivity.
