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)

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.
