Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable deployment notice
======================================================

Inspected file: bin/vc_redist.x64.exe
Product version: 14.51.36247.0

Official Microsoft guidance:
https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files
https://learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/releases/2022/redistribution
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/

Microsoft states that distribution of the Visual C++ Redistributable package,
merge modules and individual runtime binaries is limited to licensed Visual
Studio users and is subject to the applicable Microsoft Software License
Terms. This notice does not replace those terms or grant redistribution
rights.

The inspected vna-gui source and release scripts contain no invocation or
installation step for vc_redist.x64.exe. The application package already
contains its application DLLs, while the exact MSVC runtime dependency still
needs to be determined from the released executables with dumpbin or an
equivalent dependency inspection tool.

Release decision:

* If the installer actually installs vc_redist.x64.exe as a prerequisite,
  retain it only when the distributor is a properly licensed Visual Studio
  user, the file came from that licensed Visual Studio installation or the
  official Microsoft download, and the applicable Microsoft license terms
  are retained in the compliance record.
* If no installer step executes it, omit vc_redist.x64.exe from the package.
  Merely placing the installer beside the application does not install the
  runtime and unnecessarily enlarges the distribution and compliance scope.
