Hmmm. Although it is legal to sell a GPL program (if all of its source is
available) I think it's illegal to change the copyright:

      MPlayer ..an exciting entertainment software ! is a shareware
      program. You can download and try it for an evaluation period.

MPlayer is GPL _NOT_ shareware! If it's "our" MPlayer, it's a very wrong thing,
it's a violation of GPL ...
