After installing SQL Server 2005 (with SSNS, SSIS and SSAS) I found Office Web Components (OWC) installed as well. My customer is asking why OWC is required I have nothing to say. Any ideas? Is there any additional licensing requirement?

A: 

They are used for the reports

To be precise - Reporting Services

OK, seems I know what's going on. OWC are installed together with Business Inteligence Development Studio (BIDS). It's required to connect to the OLAP cubes.
