If I carefully read it and see my mouse and keyboard as being separate devices, just hooked up to the workstation, they even may not be used except if they are permitted by the.... Then, on the end, it says: "... unles the Device has a separate license for the Product". That indicates that vnc can freely be used between XP-vncserver and XP-vncviewer. And now I wonder how to get a WXP license for my keyboard, mouse and monitor. If you say that they don't run software, how about the tools for the disabled? like braille-tablets and such? How about the presentation tools like beamers with their own i/o devices? How about shares and such opened at the WXP machine? If you use them over the network then services are started like for printers and such. On the other hand, (try to find holes in the lines): It says ".... on the Workstation Computer ....". I regard the machine running a vncserver as being a server, not a workstation. What if you just use vnc to controll the software (keep it running), not to execute (start) it? I think if you are using it outside the US, your are quite save. The use of VNC on windows is to avoid a (long) walk to the machine, hence the usage of the machine can still be considdered as a PERSONAL computer. And I think that's the spirit of the license.
