+This program is linked with and uses Microsoft Distributable Code,

+copyrighted by Microsoft Corporation. The Microsoft Distributable Code

+includes the following files:

+

+msvcr90.dll

+msvcp90.dll

+msvcm90.dll

+

+If you further distribute programs that include the Microsoft

+Distributable Code, you must comply with the restrictions on

+distribution specified by Microsoft. In particular, you must require

+distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect the

+Microsoft Distributable Code at least as much as Microsoft's own

+requirements for the Distributable Code. See Microsoft's documentation

+(included in its developer tools and on its website at microsoft.com)

+for specific details.

+

+Redistribution of the Windows binary build of the Python interpreter

+complies with this agreement, provided that you do not:

+

+- alter any copyright, trademark or patent notice in Microsoft's

+Distributable Code;

+

+- use Microsoft’s trademarks in your programs’ names or in a way that

+suggests your programs come from or are endorsed by Microsoft;

+

+- distribute Microsoft's Distributable Code to run on a platform other

+than Microsoft operating systems, run-time technologies or application

+platforms;

+

+- include Microsoft Distributable Code in malicious, deceptive or

+unlawful programs; or

+

+These restrictions apply only to the Microsoft Distributable Code as

+defined above, not to Python itself or any programs running on the

+Python interpreter. The redistribution of the Python interpreter and

+libraries is governed by the Python Software License included with this

+file, or by other licenses as marked.
