There is probably an obvious reason this is not possible but I
could not see it when reading through the MS licensing

9. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This
agreement only gives you some rights to use the software.
Microsoft reserves all other rights.
So you should find an expressly granted right to redistribute.
Apparently Intel was able to redistribute it with their fortran
compiler.
Intel® Visual Fortran development environment based on Microsoft
Visual Studio 2010 Shell is included with Academic and Commercial
licenses for Intel® Visual Fortran. It is not included with
Evaluation or Student licenses. This development environment
provides everything necessary to edit, build and debug Fortran
applications. Some features of the full Visual Studio product are
not included, such as:
Resource Editor (see ResEdit*, a third-party tool, for a
substitute)
Automated conversion of Compaq* Visual Fortran projects
I guess what I mean to say is that they did it, maybe it can be
done. Of course VS Shell is still way more than is necessary for
our purposes.
