 <p>After some mails (the thread could be followed on the <i>mplayer-users</i>
 mailing list), XBPlayer developers opened their Media Player's source:
 it is available by CVS on <a href="http://xbplayer.sf.net">http://xbplayer.sf.net</a>.</p>

 <p>Their reasoning: the Win32 version that is/was available for download at
 <a href="http://xboxmediaplayer.de">http://xboxmediaplayer.de</a> was an
 older version which didn't contain ffmpeg or xvid, and has non-GPL license,
 equipped with a DivX3 decoder which was 20-30% faster (!) than ffmpeg. Well
 that's what they say. Unfortunately, the source of that version was lost
 (??!!).</p>

 <p>They also insist on us providing an apology. For what? They nuked any
 topic on their forum which was discussing GPL. The homepage did not
 contain enough information about licenses - only the success story of
 porting ffmpeg and xvid..</p>

 <p>And the "losing" of the old source.. Either way, let's hope they are
 more tolerant to (L)GPL licenses now.</p>
