THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT needed for windowsdesktop repo?

[leecow]

If third-party components are used in a .NET repo, a THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT detailing any third-party source code included in final built artifacts, along with the controlling license information must be included and maintained at the root of the affected repo (dotnet/runtime example).

During product build, these files are used to create a unified TPN file and included in the final installer builds (example) and source-build offerings.

Some repos will not need this notice as no third-party code is included in the final build artifacts.

Tracking issue: dotnet/runtime#61466

Windows Forms do not use any 3rd party dependencies (i.e., non Microsoft) in the production code (i.e., the code we ship in Windows Desktop):

@singhashish-wpf please detail WPF 3rd party dependencies, if any. Thank you

@RussKie
strawberry-perl is being used in global.json for wpf, apart from that there doesn't seem to be any 3rd party dependencies for wpf too. But that won't ship to windowsdesktop, can someone confirm if that is to be mentioned or we are good to go?

Thanks all. @singhashish-wpf, we only need to document dependencies included in shipping assets. Sounds like nothing is needed here.
