I know what GPL is, but I don't know what IGPL is (LGPL, maybe?). And why doesn't that read ASL? Again, there will be no GPL'ed code in Apache repositories. Please request in your report assistance from Incubator if you feel that there are open questions about licensing and intellectual property transferation to Apache. I also find it worth reporting that this project currently has one component named xplayer based on mplayer and FFmpeg, which are (L)GPL, and are potentially patent encumbered and must be replaced some time. Thanks, Bernd
