If the sources are given, it might be legal.

Re: Selling VLC application
just to add a bit to the topis - they are not charging you for the VLC but for the INFORMATION (I presume links to content) you will access with VLC.
If they have legal content to their content or not is another question, they just say "download this with info loaded".
I do not see anything illegal with this unless noone is allowed to say "Use VLC to get to us". They use VLC 1.1.9 and point out that it's a freeware.
"Licencia: freeware "
Not contructive question and even more a bit apam/trolling here I'd say.
(No, I do not work for them and I visit their site for the first time after I read the thread)

Distributing VLC needs source.
