There were separate VLS and VLC components for a long time, but from what I 
recall, VLS is no longer maintained, and all the streaming server 
functionality has been incorporated into VLC.

Just double-checked here: http://www.videolan.org/streaming/

"VLS (VideoLAN Server), which can stream MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files, 
DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and 
live videos on the network in unicast or multicast. Most of the VLS 
functionality can now be found in the much better VLC program. Usage of VLC 
instead of VLS is advised."
