If he includes the binary available from our web site, that is an 
unmodified version of vlc ( and it's highly likely he will as nobody in 
sane state of mind would try to compile the win32 version ;-) ), then I 
don't see any problem at all since the licence is included in our package 
and the proper references to www.videolan.org as well.

I would just advise him to wait for vlc-0.4.1 since it will be available 
shortly and has solved quite a few problems (especially a big problem with 
win98).
