msxsl.exe License/Distribution

Question
-
Hello,
I'm a software developer and I'm hoping that I can distribute msxsl.exe
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21714
Can anybody provide me with licensing information for this .exe and whether or not I can freely distribute it?
Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,
It is absolutely free for the Windows OS.
It is a part of the MS Core XML Services. Please see an excerpt below from the same link you provided.
"...
Supported Operating SystemWindows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP
-
- Because msxsl.exe is only a wrapper, Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) must be installed on the computer. You can download Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 4.0 from the Microsoft Download Center..."
By the way, msxsl.exe is very old. There are better free XML utilities.
