I downloaded the Desktop Player installer (MuziicSetup.exe, size 12591161,
md5sum dfe3b39721901dddacc4b5606bc76324). It contains a license file (attached),
and a binary distribution of ffmpeg.exe (GPL, uses libfaac). The installation
folder tools also contains a file license.txt containing some short credits to
FFmpeg and lame and the text of the GPL and the LGPL, but they contradict to the
license shown at installation time and are not enough to fulfil the license.
Contacts are [email protected] and [email protected]
Muziic is a Bettendorf, Iowa based company.
