Question about redistribution of stdole.dll

Hi

I'm developing a Visual Studio VSIX extension that references Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0.dll. This assembly refereces (indirectly)stdole.dll. 
When I generate my VSIX package, the dependency stdole.dll is automatically included in the package.

I'm not sure if I can distribute stdole.dll:

• Visual 2003 redist.txt list allowed to distribute it.
• However, that dll is not present in Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019 redist list.

So please, someone could help to answer these questions?

• Am I allowed to distribute stdole.dll?
• In the case I'm not allowed, as it is referenced by Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0.dll, it's safe removing it from the VSIX package installation file?
