Re: Respect the wishes of the mplayer authors



> If you do want to include mplayer in your distro, how about releasing it under another name than mplayer, so that the real and lovable mplayer won't be mistaken for a cripled and unusable application? To quote Bruce Perens explaining the 4. right of open source: "if you make a change, you might have to change the name of the program or mark out your change very clearly" 

If foolish tells me that's the best way to shut up people,
then that may be done, especially when mplayer in Debian is not 
the same as what may be obtained from compiling upstream source.
