Attached. Copied out right from the mailbox. Anyway this thread was
forwarded to our inner list a year ago, so every core developer can prove
me. (and you can find Marillat's answer in the beginning of the debian-devel
thread)

I'd like to believe this.

The text was there by reason..

Yes, removing repetative lines are good, but we _really have_ to bash this very
limitation into their brains on every opportunity!

Yes that's good idea. However please try to think as an r=1 debian user.
(you never compiled from source, you believe automake is great, you believe
RMS is a god, you are comforted by apt-get in every moment)

P.s.: if anyone finds this offending to himself, mail to devnull

=2E..
   Reasons: Law                                                            =
    =20
                                                                           =
    =20
   MPlayer describes the sourcecode. It contains several files with        =
    =20
   incompatible licenses especially on the redistribution clauses. As sourc=
e   =20
   files, they are allowed to coexist in a same project.                   =
    =20
                                                                           =
    =20
   Therefore, NEITHER BINARIES NOR BINARY PACKAGES OF MPlayer ARE ALLOWED T=
O   =20
   EXIST SINCE SUCH OBJECTS BREAK LICENSES. PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTE SUCH BINA=
RY  =20
   PACKAGES ARE DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.                                  =
    =20

   So if you know somebody who maintains a binary package then forward     =
    =20
   her/him this text and (ask him to) contact us. What (s)he is doing is   =
    =20
   illegal and IT IS NO LONGER MPlayer, but his/her mplayer. If it breaks, =
it  =20
   is his/her fault. Don't come and cry on the MPlayer mailing lists, you  =
    =20
   will most likely be blacklisted.                                        =
    =20
=2E..

Cease distributing MPlayer binaries or rename them, responsibility is
all yours.
