I'm afraid I am not entirely sure what you're asking for, so I'll try to 
cover all the bases. According the GPL license that VLC is released 
under, if you wish to use or distribute VLC binaries on any computer or 
a network (local or wide-area), you may do so, without any form of 
restriction. As far as the source code goes, you must offer to the 
public the source code for any changes you make to the vlc program. 
Placing source code from VLC into a seperate program is a violation of 
the GPL license, unless the program in question is also released under 
the GPL or what are considered 'compatible licenses.' The full text and 
general HOWTO of the GPL is available at:
