+ I (A'rpi) already left MPlayer G1 a year ago, when 0.90 was released.
+ This is not YAML (Yet Another Mplayer Leaving :)), I left G1 dev
+ to work on MPlayer G2. Now I'm leaving the whole MPlayer project,
+ including G2 development and all the rest, except for MPHQ server
+ administration (for technical reasons). I did not read mplayer
+ lists (any) since months (except for a few mails pointed to me),
+ and I lost the rest of my interest towards MPlayer development.
+ <P>
+ About G2, my primary reason of giving up on it was the dual
+ licensing issues, discussed recently on the g2-dev list.
+ My opinion about GPL was proven again, ie. it doesn't protect us
+ against code stealing (see the KiSS issue for example), while
+ it keeps project sponsors and companies away. I wanted to make
+ G2 to be usable by any program as the standard linux media lib/API,
+ but GPL is too strict for this, and all other license options
+ were immediately refused by all other (potential) G2 developers.
+ Of course G2 can be written as free GPL software (free as RMS:)) too,
+ but it will took long, and I have no interest to participate.
+ <P>
+ What's now with me? I'm back to some of my old projects, like AMC,
+ and I've started a new project about heuristic email virus scanning,
+ called <A HREF="http://mplayerhq.hu/~arpi/pymavis>pymavis</A>.
