I've checked the thread, but must have skimmed over it. Which is the library
in question?

Please list _actual_ licensing problems of MPlayer so we can discuss them - the
purpose this list exists for.
The following issues' discussion has started so far:

Please no flames. If you think I'm wrong in something, please point me to

Then let's make it clear.

What about "innocent until guilty" ? Show me the nonfree part of MPlayer.

so hesitant to go near mplayer.
Debian actually forgets the legal issues in the case of xine (please don't
argue, a year has passed since this argument of mine was raised first, and no
effect to this very day), so *please* don't come with this line.
I try my best to avoid another flamewar, but I need cooperation on your side.

We won't agree to remove ASF support. It would be a most serious crippling.

ocevar raised a concern about libavcodec. I do not intend to answer
this, since xine was allowed into Debian with a full, included libavcodec.
By the way, MPlayer also contains a LICENSE file, which - AFAIK - negliges the
neccessity of GPL header inclusion in each of the source files.
Any more concerns?

1. If you think I misunderstood, please ask your question another way.

Why would it affect anything? MPlayer uses only GPL, or GPL-compatible,
or GPL-relicensed code.

In case anybody's interested, I've just commited the GPLv2 'LICENSE' into CVS,

Hi,
Sorry for not replying to teh thread, i'm not subscribed to this list.
Gabu FWD'ed the thread and it seems that so many debian ppl thinks and
says very false statements. So I have to tell you some comemn
WE say it's GPL.
Its original author says it's GPL.
Debian-legal says we are all wrong?? :))
Make me laugh.
I'm waiting for your comments.
