GPLv2 or later

A few weeks ago I asked about the two statements on http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html and http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html, the first of which says mplayer is licensed under GPLv2 and the second GPLv2 or later. There was a suggestion to more systematically check the sources. I just did this, and I found many files where the word "Copyright" does not appear -- over 700 of them. List attached. I excluded DOC/, TOOLS/, xpm files, and so on. I also found just a few files that say "GNU GPL v2" without the "or later": ./libvo/vo_zr.c:3: * Copyright (C) Rik Snel 2001,2002, License GNU GPL v2 ./libvo/vo_bl.c:13: * Other stuff: Copyright (C) Rik Snel 2002, License GNU GPL v2 ./libvo/vo_zr2.c:4: * Copyright (C) Rik Snel 2001-2005, License GNU GPL v2 ./cputable.h:3: * This file comes under the GNU GPL, see www.fsf.org for more info! (There may be more occurrences using other texts, I searched for "GNU GPL" to find these.) I hope this helps in eventually resolving the question ... Thanks, Karl
