Is it legal to put FSharp.Core.dll from FSharp Redist Package into my application package and redistribute it with my application? I couldn't find any information about this.

Can you describe what you mean by "borrow". Do you mean are you allowed to redistribute it yourself with your application? – Jon Hopkins Jun 13 '11 at 15:30
@Jon Hopkins, yes, I updated the question, thanks. – duros Jun 13 '11 at 15:36

Did you just ask if it's all right to redistribute a part of the redistributable package? :P – Mason Wheeler Jun 13 '11 at 16:07

Yes, it is legal. The page you linked to says the following:

The F# redistributable package can be added to a deployment project to create a packaged, installable F# application that installs the F# runtime components when an application is installed on a client computer.

You can also check the redist.txt file in [program files]\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\ (or 9.0 if you're running 2008). You are allowed to redistribute libraries listed in that file and when you have F# installed, FSharp.Core.dll should be on that list.

I understood that part as I can put F# redist in my app package. Thanks. – duros Jun 13 '11 at 18:11
