Describe the bug

There are wrong outdated license agreements and license files mentioned in the installer of aspnetcore, which developers must distribute as dependency e.g. for CoreWCF to clients in their installers.

This may cause software distributors of .NET Core - which is licensed under MIT - to get false warnings that they would violate some old Microsoft .NET Framework licenses which should not apply to .NET Core software components like aspnetcore (especially not the Desktop/Client part)

Is that intentional?

Example: Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0 Download https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-aspnetcore-8.0.2-windows-x64-installer Run the installer In the first screen, click on the "license term".

It links to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=329770, which then links to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet_library_license.htm which seems to be unrelated to .net Core and does NOT reference MIT but some old Microsoft license which makes it much more difficult to distribute.

The correct link should probably this one https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/license-information-windows.md

This license text may even be contained in the installer.

In ticket 40835 a related issue has been reported for some other part.

Expected Behavior

No more reference to old Microsoft .NET framework licenses but correct dotnetcore MIT licenses.

Steps To Reproduce

Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0 Download https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-aspnetcore-8.0.2-windows-x64-installer Run the installer In the first screen, click on the "license term".

It links to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=329770, which then links to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet_library_license.htm which seems to be unrelated to .net Core and does NOT reference MIT but some old Microsoft license which makes it much more difficult to distribute.
