Hello,

Last time I looked there were two parts to the complete player. The
helix player was free (GPL?) and was of limited use by itself, and
there was the real(media) codec, which is restricted proprietary
binary only thing.

Depending on the stuff you distribute you get either yet another free
player or a free player with a very restricetd codec.

Thanks

Michal
