"If any of these files are provided by Microsoft, check whether you are
permitted to redistribute them. To view a list of permitted files, see
Redist.txt in the ..\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\ folder on the computer
where Visual Studio is installed."

There doesn't seem to be any mention of redistributing them if you don't
have visual studio installed. Presumably it just never occurred to
Microsoft that anyone would want to.

I also can't see anything with the Visual C++ Runtime redistributable
packages indicating the conditions under which you can distribute them.
Maybe there's info included in the installer itself, but I'm not running in
Windows at the moment to check.
