Dear List.
As some of you stated, xine in Debian doesn't include illegal parts. I have to
assure you it _DOES_ . Take a look at libxine1.deb :
xineplug_decode_ff.so 829032 - this is libavcodec, the MPEG4/DivX decoder
Did you pay the royalty to the MPEG Group?
They can come any time...
xineplug_decode_faad.so 164048 - this is the FAAD audio decoder, which is
just as illegal as libavcodec
Vidix - unusable ballast without libdha, which is
not packaged
nvidia_vid.so - part of Vidix.. Instead it is a
placeholder :) Just contains
printf("TODO") :))
Nice to know xine was packaged by people
who knew what they were doing :)))))))
xineplug_decode_w32dll.so - code (from Wine) to load win32 DLLs
It's total legal isn't it..?
ASF demuxer - Microsoft already forced a GPL project
to remove it (VirtualDub)
I hope Debian is also ready to face this :)
xineplug_decode_gsm610.so - xine's gsm610 is GPL, MPlayer's is not? :)
Nice.
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.
