There aren't I directly hacked the binary dll available from vp3.com using
biew, but I see no violation of their policies as it's still capableto decode
vp3 content.
Maybe simply ship the dll with the a txt containing their license.
Btw. it's no crucial hack, I just replaced some accesses to ring 0 (cpu
control registers) that were used to determine if the OS supports SSE (OS not
CPU) with NOPs and always assume OS supports SSE. (Otherwise codec will
segfault.)
