Especially since Lindows is distributing libdvdcss with its DVD
player and calls it a "licensed commercial decryption codec", which
probably means the DVDCCA is aware of libdvdcss and even allows its
redistribution (under the GPL, of course, because the libdvdcss authors
never gave permission to redistribute under other terms).
