in the meantime Player 3.0.* was released, maybe the copyright problem was fixed there? I have checked the Player 3.0.1 source and found some files in the replace dir that might be non-free (as obviously not covered by README/COPYING files) but the rest should *imho* be ok (some files are missing their copyright header but a central place states they are GPL/LGPL/GFDL and they are only minor support scripts). While checking the source I've updated the Player package to version 3.0.1 and remove the files, that I think are not dfsg free. It's mostly the XDR stuff which is only needed on platforms, that don't have a RPC/XDR implementation. But eglibc provides one, that is used instead of the one in Player, so we would not need it anyway (and it is easy to fix upstream as Sun released the source under BSD license). You can find the updated packages here: http://www.db3ydh.de/~daniel/player/ It would be really nice to get Player back into Squeeze, maybe my packages can help you on that. TIA Daniel
