Benjamin Carlsson d43f1e7eb2 Clarify the Windows Visual C++ runtime notice for voice packages (#44942)
Identify the bundled runtime as `bin/vcruntime140.dll`, relative to the
notice in release packages. Add a dedicated section with links to Microsoft's
license terms, redistributable downloads and support, and Visual Studio 2026
redistribution information.

Native voice libraries in Codex releases

Codex release packages with voice include dynamically linked GStreamer and GLib libraries and selected plugins, plus their native library dependencies. These components have their own copyrights and licenses. Their notices accompany this file in licenses/: LGPL-2.1.txt for GStreamer and GLib, proxy-libintl.txt for libintl, libffi.txt, PCRE2.md and sljit.txt for PCRE2, Opus.txt, and zlib.txt. GVDB is included with GLib under LGPL.

The exact upstream versions, source archive URLs and SHA-256 digests are in sources.json alongside this notice. The corresponding build, runtime projection and package scripts are in the public Codex source tree under third_party/voice/. The source commit for this package is recorded in manifest.json. The native libraries remain separate dynamic libraries in platform-specific runtime directories. Replacements must be compatible with the package and, on macOS, have valid code signatures. Build tools listed in sources.json are build inputs, not bundled runtime libraries.

Microsoft Visual C++ runtime (Windows)

Windows packages also contain the unmodified Microsoft Visual C++ runtime DLL bin/vcruntime140.dll, relative to this notice in release packages, copyright Microsoft Corporation, under Microsoft's applicable software license terms, separately from the open-source audio libraries. windows-crt.json records its version, official download, hashes, and redistribution references. The Apache and LGPL licenses for other components do not license this DLL. Microsoft's runtime terms and separate developer redistribution terms apply to the Microsoft component; the runtime terms alone do not grant redistribution. Only retail redistributable files are included; Microsoft signatures are retained. App-local runtime security updates must be delivered with Codex updates.

Microsoft provides the following license terms and redistribution information:
