-<h2><a name="blacklist">Blacklisted Projects</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-	These projects took large pieces of code from (L)GPL video projects, and failed
-	to mark their origins, despite of our requests.
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-	<li><a href="http://www.sigmadesigns.com" rel="nofollow">Sigma Designs, Inc.</a><br>
-		This company stole the <a href="http://xvid.org">Xvid</a> MPEG-4 video codec
-		(GPL), and promoted it as its own open source codec, "inspired" by Xvid.
-		It is a 1:1 copy, however.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.kiss-technology.com" rel="nofollow">KiSS Technology A/S</a><br>
-		Hardware DVD and DivX player vendor that stole (at least) MPlayer subtitle
-		reader code.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.nvideo-tech.com/products.htm" rel="nofollow">NPlayer</a><br>
-		This commercial Windows program tries to access MPlayer config files on
-		startup through their Unix (!) path. Incredibly cheap and unprofessional
-		ripoff.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.blazevideo.com/videomagic/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Blaze Video Magic</a><br>
-		Multimedia file conversion utility based on MEncoder that
-		fails to give credit. Source requests went unanswered.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://applian.com/replay-converter/index.php" rel="nofollow">Replay Converter</a> (unverified)<br>
-		Multimedia file conversion utility containing MEncoder that
-		fails to give credit.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.mediacoderhq.com" rel="nofollow">MediaCoder</a><br>
-		A frontend to MEncoder, FFmpeg, Xvid and x264 among other things.
-		Fails to provide source among other things.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://ds6.ovh.org/drp.html" rel="nofollow">Dziobas Rar Player</a><br>
-		RAR file player that uses MPlayer but fails to provide source.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-	There used to be some license problems, but now they seem to be GPL-compliant:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-	<li><a href="http://os2.kiev.ua/en/wv.php">WarpVision Player</a><br>
-		This OS/2 media player is heavily based on MPlayer and a few
-		other free multimedia players, but did not give credit nor
-		provide sources at first.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://ps2reality.net">PS2 MediaPlayer</a><br>
-		PlayStation2 media player using FFmpeg. Their changes to FFmpeg can be
-		found in the ffmpeg-devel mailing list archives.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.broadq.com">BroadQ / QCast Tuner</a><br>
-		PlayStation2 media player using FFmpeg. We have yet to receive their
-		modified FFmpeg sources.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.linspire.com">Linspire</a>
-		- formerly known as Lindows<br>
-		Uses MPlayer as standard media player. Advertised as:
-		<a href="http://www.linspire.com/mplayer">"MPlayer - The
-		Ultimate Movie Player for Linspire"</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://linuxvideo.info">QuickView Pro</a><br>
-		Proprietary media player for DOS and Linux based in part on FFmpeg. Its
-		license used to conflict with the LGPL by forbidding reverse engineering.
-		This has now been amended.</li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.konvertor.net/indexe.html">Konvertor</a><br>
-		Multimedia file conversion utility containing FFmpeg that in
-		the past failed to give credit, provide sources and include
-		the GPL. Now it does.</li>
-</ul>
