According to README:
"The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. "

There are two files in the root directory of VLC project, explained what
you should and should not do:
COPYING            - The GPL license.
COPYING.LIB        - The LGPL license.

In a summary, you must distribute the source code of VLC, including what
you have changed to it,
along with your product.
