[MPlayer-dev-eng] French translation of DOC/

Hi,
There is a problem in the French translation (documentation.html):
<P>MPlayer est redistribuable selon les termes de la license <A
HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU GPL</A>.</P>
which means MPlayer is GNU GPL and that's all... (not mentionning
OpenDivX for instance...)
Though you may not mind licenses it's not the same meaning as what I
read in the English version :
<P><B>MPlayer</B> is basically GPL, but contains some non-GPL code which
is not allowed to be distributed in binary form, and also contains the
OpenDivX library which has special license.</P>
Which is rather translated by:
<P><B>MPlayer</B> est fondamentalement GPL, mais contient du code
non-GPL dont la redistribution sous forme binaire n'est pas autorisee.
MPlayer contient aussi la bibliothè OpenDivX dont la
redistribution est soumise à qui a sa propre licence.
So can you fix that in the docs or state clearly on the license... (yeah
that's kinda flamebait ;)
(Optionnally add a disclaimer in the main documentation stating that
translations are provided as contributions and may not be accurate - the
English version being the reference)
