It is wise to check the usage license for recent MSVC versions. The 
usage license for recent versions seems to apply arbitrary 
restrictions and limit what you are allowed to do and how you are 
allowed to deploy your software.  I seem to recall seeing restrictions 
which would be bad for open source software.  I am not sure how one 
sees the usage licence after the software is already installed.
