I suspect you will get a deluge of responses to this, and most of them
will be wrong.

By "runtime module" Microsoft is referring to a separate library module
that is not physically linked to your executable program.  For example,
there is a runtime module that makes compiled BASIC programs smaller.

This does not refer to typical library code linked with a C program.
There is no requirement that you mention Microsoft when you distribute
a compiled C program.
