I see Bram gave you an answer, which I understand means you don't need a license (but IANAL, nor do I play one on TV). Since Vim is published in Europe and the companies to whom you want to make it available are in Europe too, I suppose that (if you want some faster workaround than attentively reading the Mozilla case study and applying it to Vim) you can, instead of yourself putting Vim itself on the network, tell them how to download it from ftp.vim.org (which is an alias for some part of ftp.nluug.nl, in the Netherlands) and/or read my HowTo pages (hosted in Belgium where I live, and linked from http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/ ). Then they can build Vim without the need for the product ever to leave EU territory, thus taking advantage of the European "free circulation of people and goods" treaties.
