The patent is not US-specific.

OK, so perhaps one would need another section for countries where
software patents are not protected.

Actually I located the correct libs on the site below and they are FSF copyrighted according to the files themselves. I have to assume the actual code is not pirated at this point as they are being distributed with the FSF disclaimer included.

That aside I have compiled and installed them and tried to compile the cvs from mplayer using mplayer-update ( this is distributed as a .deb file by the author and is GPL copyrighted)
I am still getting the error message indicated in the output snippet below.

The experiences of anyone who has been successful in getting this or something similar to compile are VERY welcome. I do not very often have to venture outside of debian to meet my needs and this is well outside my range of experienc.
Thanks!
