So I want to be careful. We need more opinions from other experts. :-) Sure, but the license you linked to above is unquestionably nonfree. As for whether it actually applies to the software or if it's overridden by some other statement somewhere else, I can't say. The situation should be fixed, one way or another, even if it's "really" under the GPL and doesn't need to be removed. Best, Karl

If this message is in any way insufficient to do so, please tell me what I have to do. Please keep in mind that I do not have in hand either the full GPL text or the source code of the last mmv release (oops). If there is any other way that I can help out, please tell me. Thanks, Vladimir Lanin [email protected] Thanks to Joost for getting into touch with him.
