 Micosoft licensed windows 2.x runtimes until ca. April 1990. With the release 
of Windows 3.0  microsoft stopped runtime licensing.
However, everybody who got a license for his product before the deadline can 
bundle the windows 2.x (!!!) runtime with his product forever.

But there are no runtime licenses for windows 3.0 I think.
