To answer my own question - they require that the installer only be 
redistributed with an application, that the application add significant 
functionality to the redistibutables themselves, and that the 
application be only compatible with MS Windows. I guess we can't put it 
on our site, though I very much doubt they are allowed to request that 
last paragraph. Still, we can direct people to their site and tell them 
to D/L it from there, if there are any problems.
