None whatsoever. They're warez. However, many (most?) of them can be
downloaded from the MS site, so you could write a free script that
downloads them from there on the end user's system, and package that
script for distribution... Or if you don't care about nasty lawyers
you could just distribute the w32codecs file anyway.
