Hi guys,

the SUPER codec by Erightsoft

http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html

contains lots of GPL and LGPL code:
mplayer, ffmpeg, x264, musepack, theora,
which they admit and give credit for.

Still, their product is proprietary,
and they insist on it. I tried to get
the source through their forum, but they
of course won't give it:

http://www.erightsoft.net/Supforum.html

I'll forward this to the different mailing
lists, so you can discuss and coordinate
possible action if you want.

Christoph
