+	<br>
+	It has been brought to my attention, that the now famous <i>Kiss
+	Technology</i> - already <a href=#kiss01>in violation of the GNU
+	General Public License</a> - has been confirmed stealing another
+	program which is also completely under the GPL license.<br>
+	<br>
+	The software in question is the high-quality MPEG audio codec,
+	<a href="http://www.underbit.com/products/">MAD</a> (libmad).
+	This codec is used by a lot of other audio players, like
+	<a href="http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/">mpg321</a>, a command line
+	MP3 player found in most Linux distributions - including Debian.<br>
+	<br>
+	The strings from the Kiss firmware (matching
+	<a href="ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/libmad-0.15.0b.tar.gz">libmad sources<a>),
+	can be viewed <a href="http://mplayerhq.hu/~gabucino/kiss/libmad.str">here</a> -
+	but you can also check it for yourself, it's really easy.<br>
+	<br>
+	And if you do: don't be surprised when you run into <b>more</b> strings -
+	which are matching those that of <a href="http://www.ijg.org">libjpeg</a>.<br>
