Carl Eugen, could you put a pointer to the past conversation (a link on
gmane would suffice) which explains this in depth?  I was around mplayer-g2
times, but can't remember who was against relicensing.

Regarding myself I am happy to (re)license all my contributions to MPlayer
under LGPL 2.1.

Best,
Alex
