Using the ActiveX probably turns your software a derivative work of VLC.
Hence, you need to license your own software under the terms of the GNU
General Public License version 2 or later, or a compatible terms.

You may also need to provide source code for VLC and all its dependencies.
If this is non-commercial, linking to http://www.videolan.org/ is
sufficient, but this is only valid for non-commercial releases.

Detailed licensing terms are available here:

If in doubt, ask your legal department.
