Hi I've written a program in Python using wxPython and Matplotlib and would like to distribute it under the GPL. For ease of use, I'd also like to distribute and installable version for Windows, but this needs MSVCR71.dll and MSVCP71.dll to work. I've created an installer using py2exe and Inno Setup but I don't know if I'm allowed to distribute it or not. I've found lots of conflicting opinions online indicating that I can or cannot distribute these, but no definitive answer.
The Microsoft Developer Network instructs me to read the redistribution instructions and the EULA which come with Visual Studio, but I don't have visual studio, so that's next to useless. If someone has worked their way through this maze before and has an answer, I'd be keen to hear it. Failing that, if you have Visual Studio and it's not a violation of the licence terms to post the licence and redistribution instructions here, could you possibly do so and I'll see if I can work out what's allowed. Thanks! -- I'm at CAMbridge, not SPAMbridge -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
