If we don't want to include this support, this is not your problem. E.g. xine in Debian has WMV9 support stripped off, and there would be no reason for mplayer to include it if there are legal issues with it. > 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. Another issue is that the xine authors have always been cooperative instead of ranting about this and that. Anyway, after all successive problems we encountered with mplayer, the maintainer will have a hard time convincing the ftpmasters that his package is 100 % free software, and free of patent issues. You can call this discrimination, I will call this careful attention towards some people who already proved to be incompetent regarding legal issues. -- .''`.
