There was a little concern on my part, at least, due to this
paragraph from my Delphi installation:

"You may NOT redeploy INPRISE-supplied design-time-only
packages. You may not recompile or redistribute any
INPRISE-supplied components or libraries for use by other
developers. "

Now,  it may be that Borland would consider some of the components
in VEL, especially those that are not standard parts of Windows, as
falling  into the above category. At this point, they could probably care less,
but  if this became a widely-used package, they might have second thoughts.
I am not a lawyer (which has always been a source of great pride to my family),
but the following seems to also be problematical:

"(vii)
regardless of any modifications which you make and
regardless of how you might compile, link, or package your
programs, the libraries (including runtime libraries),
code, Redistributables, and/or other files of the Software
(including any portions thereof) may not be used in
programs created by your end users (i.e., users of your
programs) and may not be further redistributed by your end
users;"
