Bug#396646: mmx.h license issues

[A Mennucc]

hi

mmx.h comes from a library that may still be found at
http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/linux/src/libmmx-990416.tgz

that lib was made available from a web site that is no more; but I found
 it using google at
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:NT57YsTOpKYJ:eetpc20.bd.psu.edu/~rfisher/Research/Libmmx/libmmx.html
I also attach it (just in case Google deletes the cache). The most
important point is that the author writes:
"We have dropped the Purdue-style license, and placed libmmx in the
public domain. Please read the notification at the top of the file mmx.h"

So, it seems that the author intended to put the lib in the public
domain. I wrote an email to the author to ask for more clarifications.

ps: the file mmx.h in MPlayer and in the above tar.gz are not identical,
there are some diffs

The libmmx Homepage

The C source is available as a gzipped tar file: libmmx-990416.tgz Gunzipping and untarring this file will produce the directory libmmx-990416 which will contain the sources. The top-level make file resides in this directory. Documentation on making, installing, and using the library can be found in the Docs subdirectory. See the README file in the docs subdirectory. I will redo and add manual pages at a later date.

Here is the Linux LSM entry...libmmx.lsm

We have dropped the Purdue-style license, and placed libmmx in the public domain. Please read the notification at the top of the file mmx.h
