The only way to get the license to distribute the runtime for Access 2002 is
to purchase Office XP Developer.

Unfortunately, Microsoft no longer sells previous versions of Office.

One possibility is to check out sites that specialize in old software
products, such as http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/ or
http://recycledsoftware.com/

Another is to look at someplace like eBay to see whether anyone's trying to
see their old versions (Note, though, that products purchased this way
aren't always legal...)

If you want to go with Access 2003, you need to purchase Visual Studio Tools
for Office 2003 (which includes the Access 2003 Developer Extensions). The
ADE is the product that gives you the license to deploy the 2003 runtime
components and you have to have Access 2003 installed in order to install
the ADE.
