Contributes to: dotnet/runtime#108905

We were given the guidance that the license we were using for vcruntime140_cor3.dll was wrong and that we could use ".NET Library License" instead for it.

I also took the liberty to do some cleanup to make this document easier to read.

We can merge when @jkotas approves.
