I don't know of any "further useless arguments" but in my 24 July reply
I noted that I could not find any licence statement in the original
mplayer distribution. I guess that once a licence text has been
committed to CVS it will actually be distributed with mplayer.
Note that I haven't looked though any further revisions of the Debian
packaging and I don't intend to (due to time constraints, not because of
Gabucino's charm).

Adam
