Yes, exactly the same redistributable MSVC and Direct3D libs most games ship with. What's wrong with that?

Do the licenses for those redistributable libraries permit this use? I believe that historically the answer was "no, the license only permits its use on Windows", but I don't know what the current status of this is.
