The End-User License Agreement (EULA) for Microsoft Windows XP 
Professional states:

"Except as otherwise permitted by the NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and 
Remote Desktop features described below, you may not use the Product to 
permit any Device to use, access, display or run other executable 
software residing on the Workstation Computer, nor may you permit any 
Device to use, access, display, or run the Product or Product's user 
interface, unless the Device has a separate license for the Product."

Um, so apparently running the vnc server on XP to allow access would be 
considered a violation.
