Up until very recently, MPLayer was rather lax about licensing. They included code that was restricted by patents.
As of Oct. 2006, they have done a review of their code and cleaned some of this up. They have removed DeCSS code (illegal in some areas) and linked against a different library. Because of this cleanup, mplayer might actually make it into Debian, which will mean it will eventually work it's way into Ubuntu. However, it's a recent development, and a lot of people may still have reservations about using it. GIven gNS's reluctance to include iffy media formats, it might not ever make it into gNS.

Does anyone know anything about mplayer-plugin? It's in Ubuntu's multiverse, so wasn't imported into gnewsense. However, it seems to be under the GPL.
