Sorry to go on with this kind of thread (on a dev list!), but i 
disagree. Any other
point of view here? It seems since some time i only talk with Mr. 
Felker...

OK, now we are with menace. Are you talking for the rest of MPlayer 
developers?
What do Gabucino and others think of that?

I still think i am right in the GPL license. You will not convince me 
by playing with
words replacing "component" by "modules" then by "framework" when you 
see framework
in the QuickTime file's path or being dihonest pretending false 
assertions to do your
argumentation.
However, i always take care of original developer's opinion being in my 
GPL right or not.
So if you don't want people to use your internal library, that's your 
choice, i respect it.

Again, any kind of different point of view here?
