I'm not certain about the license, but I would prefer to refer users to the Microsoft download center to retrieve the most recent version, rather than maintaining it ourselves.  I think as long as they know what they need they can find the redist binaries and install them.

We also have WebPI that will resolve this issue for some users as well.
