Office Web Component Licensing
 

I am unclear about licensing of the OWC.

1. Am I licensed use OWC with VB? OWC is available on the PC, installed with Office 2003.
2. Can I distribute the VB application?

Thanks.

Note that these above are community solution articles - written by a another
user (MVP Alvin Bruney), so they represent his interpretation of the
licensing.

This article on MSDN has a large number of links to information on the OWC
(towards the bottom). It has a link for licensing for office 2000. It
covers office XP as well, but I didn't see a specific article on licensing.

these cover licensing specifically, but I don't know if it will address your
specific question about VB. (I couldn't find a 2003 equivalent to the first
two).
