100% legally are hard.

In principle, you must enquire about every "piece" or
"package" (an entity that has an entry http://ctan.org/pkg/...,
or what has a line in the MiKTeX Package Manager, alternatively
https://miktex.org/packages
) you are using what license it has.
For CTAN packages such as "txfonts", you find the license
on
http://ctan.org/pkg/txfonts
If anything you use apart from direct Microsoft software
comes from MiKTeX, you can get about 99%% from
https://miktex.org/copying
where Christian Schenk starts "To the best of my knowledge,
all software in this distribution is freely redistributable".
(Alas, that is 2017 ...)
