We start from a default position of trusting that upstream developers comply with copyright law. The upstream developers for mplayer have, several times, stated that mplayer was licensed entirely under the GPL, when it simply was not, and they had clearly not even tried to check. It doesn't matter whether this was intentional or just inept - continuing to trust their word on the matter would be foolish. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
