Details
In versions up to and including FF8, we are shipping mozcrt19.dll and mozcpp19.dll files which are built from the sources of the MSVC CRT. From FF9 onwards, we directly ship msvc*.dll files depending on the Visual Studio version used to build. We however only do so when WIN32_REDIST_DIR is defined. We should add information about these files and their license in about:license when we do ship them.

glandium: can you give me an update on the situation here? Are we now shipping these files? We don't seem to have proposed license text to include... is that something we have to figure out with Legal? Gerv

Comment 0 still applies. I guess the license text would come from MSVC, but it might be better to check with Legal.

Jishnu, Luis: can either of you tell me what we need to put in about:license regarding shipping the MSVC DLLs? (There must be a bug open about this, but I can't see most Legal bugs.) Gerv
There is a bug about this, probably now closed; unfortunately, I can't see/search old Legal bugs either. Jishnu, Liz: the bug would include the text "MSVCRT".

There's Bug 526758 which Luis and Gerv are both copied on. Is that the one you were thinking of?
That's the one I was thinking of. Thanks, Liz.
