This is true. It is called the IEAK or Internet Explorer Administration
Kit. You are required to give them a bit of information, and choose a
license depending on what type of business you are. Then you basically need
to let them know when you distribute your first copy and quarterly reports
thereafter on how many copies you distribute.
The kit allows you to do modifications to IE including toolbar changes,
silent minimal installs, logo changes, component selection, etc. I found it
when I was looking at the HTML Help site at MS and it was under the
redistributable files section.
