Here is an extract of our FAQ : 

You  may distribute  an  original  or modified  version  of  a piece  of
VideoLAN software  as long as you  comply with its license  terms. It is
the GNU General  Public License Version 2 (referred herein  as GPL), and
it is  in the  file named COPYING  in our products.  The easiest  way to
conform to  the GPL is to  accompany the product you  want to distribute
with its  sources. For example,  if you  plan to distribute  the lastest
binary version of  VLC, you should also include all  the files listed on
the VLC source code page. You do not need to bother explaining where the
sources  are, but  the  sources have  to  share the  same  media as  the
products. There are  other ways to comply with the  GPL, but this should
be the simplest because it does not rely on a contract.
