Is legally OK to redistribute F# 3.0 runtime (FSharp.Core.dll versions 2.3.0.0, 4.3.0.0), and where do I find proof of that? I prepared a NuGet package with those but having second thoughts about licensing before publishing the package. Microsoft released F# 2.0 runtime as a redist package - so no questions there, but my impression is that the only way to get F# 3.0 runtime is through installing VS 2011 or similar; I am not sure where is the license to check that redistributing the F# runtime is OK.
Note that the question is only about the binaries signed with Microsoft key. Sources for the code are available under Apache license.
Having the NuGet package with the DLLs would make some build situations easier.
The open-source F# repository went ahead and is redistributing Microsoft-signed FSharp.Core.dll (see https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp), but I still would like to make sure this is allowed.

The answer is yes, F# 3.0 runtime can be redistributed. The EULA can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34675
