Personally i would be against this. Not because licensing
issues, but rather for bloat.
I have a similar preference for games that include a bunch of
dependency libraries, which can be far larger than the game
itself and distributed in hundreds of games means potentially
Gigabytes of repeated portions that are not needed and can't be
compressed or removed.
But that's just a personal opinion. It's not like you're
including a 700Mb installer of .Net in order to run a 200k
program.
