License Compliance Fail: Missing redist.txt files in Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018

Since the 2016 Intel Composer Suite product release, there have been several redistribution license files for elements of the comprehensive product that are missing. I was able to audit the following historical versions:
2011.sp1.9.293
2013.0.079
2013.3.163
2013.4.183
1025.3.187
2015.5.223

In each of those releases, we were able to use the following redistribution guidelines under ...Documentation/en_US/
.../ipp/redist.txt
.../mkl/redist.txt
.../tbb/redist.txt
.../credist.txt
.../fredist.txt

Beginning in 2016, in every release since, including the 2018 Parallel Studio XE, we have only the following:
.../licensing/compiler/en//credist.txt
.../licensing/compiler/en//fredist.txt
.../licensing/mpi/en/redist_rt.txt

Redistribution guidance for the library products, namely MKL, IPP, TBB, and so on, are missing from the newer releases of the comprehensive product. This makes it impossible to comply with the terms of Intel's licenses when redistributing dynamically-linked binaries. We would like to see these files added back into Parallel Studio XE as quickly as possible and to have a patchlevel release made available that includes them.

Thank you.
