dunno, but they belong to the ffmpeg project, they aren't in mplayer cvs.
ask ffmpeg authors (Michael, Fabrice) - ffmpeg is said GPL/LGPL.

yes it's from mpg123's mpglib, which is LGPL since a while (and was GPL before)

from avifile.
the original avifile code comes from wine & wabi, ~3 years ago
since that most of the code has been changed/rewritten by avifile & mplayer
authors

it's by Acki, for mplayer

it was written by Eugene Kuznetsov for avifile, later converted c++->c by
Miguel F. (xine project). both are GPL.

as it runs mplayer with various parameters, it has no sense to use without
mplayer. it's just a test case for mplayer development.
