Just the opposite. You need an unrestricted version to get all the features. With an restricted version, you can only watch non protected DVDs. Freevo doesn't care about the restrictions of the player, it just says play it and doesn't know about protections (Freevo only knows about a DVD in the drive, not if it's protected) > There is also a legal version of Xine avaiable from Lindows.com, > (fully licenced codec) so maybe you could point concerned users to > this too.

If the Lindows version has all features isn't sure, maybe it's only the licenced _codecs_ (AC3, MPEG2) but still not DeCSS. I read the xine-devel list and they try to find out. It doesn't concern me (or Freevo) where you get your player and what features it has. If you want to be 100% legal this is ok or if not (like you and most other users), you can get a full version of the player and Freevo has everything it has now.
