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: - libavcodec's possible patent infringements: even if they do exist, xine (which contains this library) was let into debian main. - ASF patent: it seems there is an agreement that there is no reason to fear Microsoft on this part. However - of course - I don't want to say the final word; this is just my understatement so far. - Win32 DLLs: current linux media players (including MPlayer) are more than able to live without them. While these topics can be important, I'd like if somebody would address my original concerns too. Thank you. -- Gabucino MPlayer Core Team
