At the moment, it depends.  CodeWeavers installs MS Office (legal,
according to the Office EULA), which itself installs IE, without ever
asking for the IE license agreement.  Therefore, so they say, this is
just fine.

I think (but haven't checked lately) that the current IE license
requires the user to own a Windows license, which is still almost always
the case, but hopefully not forever.  It does this by claiming that IE
is an operating system component.

I personally don't believe that MS can enforce that requirement, but we
have a *lot* of thinking and planning to do before I'd be comfortable
actually recommending that someone ignore a license agreement. 
Certainly that is *not* the current position of this project.
