From the latest discusion in the mplayer mailing list: ----- Forwarded message from Arpi <arpi@thot.banki.hu> ----- Hi, > [Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] > In divx4_vbr.c after the gpl statemet there is this: > > * Large parts of this code were taken from VbrControl() * > * from the OpenDivX project, (C) divxnetworks, * > * this code is published under DivX Open license, which * > * can be found... somewhere... oh, whatever... * > > WTF? divx4linux is not GPL, and this file belongs to divx4 support if you don't use divx4 or xvid (neither of them is gpl) thsi file is not used they (divx4/xvid authors) should include this in their lib but they don't do so for unknown reason :( A'rpi / Astral & ESP-team ----- End forwarded message ----- So there are some bits of code licensed under other parts non-DFSG compatible, but removing them should solve the problem. mplayer has already a debian tree under it, so it seems someone was working with upstream to get it ready.
