Is the F # 3.0 runtime distributed?

Is it legally enough to redistribute the execution time of F # 3.0 (FSharp.Core.dll versions 2.3.0.0, 4.3.0.0) and where can I find evidence of this? Before publishing the package, I prepared the NuGet package, but first thought about licensing. Microsoft released F # 2.0 runtime as a redist package - so there are no questions, but my impression is that the only way to get F # 3.0 runtime is to install VS 2011 or similar; I am not sure where the license is to verify that the redistribution of F # runtime is in order.

Please note that the question only applies to binaries signed with a Microsoft key. Sources for the code are available under the Apache license.

Having a NuGet package with DLL files will ease some build situations.

The open source repository F # went further and redistributes the signed Microsoft FSharp.Core.dll (see https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp ), but I still would like to make sure that it is allowed.
