Sure it does :-)  it's a huge difference. We should start a flame about
what is better!

I doubt that. 
Junto of PM said it in the release of DivX4, but there the homepage hasn't 
been updated for months. 

Also, the sources on CVS still carry the Copyright notice of DivX Open License.

I think, they plan(ned) to GPL it, but nobody there cares about it enough to 
spend only 15 minutes to offically announce and change headers. 

No answer to my question, yet. But also it's still night over there...
