| 318 14. MPlayer contains some external code that is partly patched, partly copied | |
| 319 verbatim (see Copyright for details). This code should not be modified | |
| 320 unless there is a very good reason. Much of it is maintained upstream. | |
| 321 We should be good open source citizens, submit our fixes upstream and keep | |
| 322 the differences as small as possible. | |
| 323 If you have to modify external code, do not forget to update the diff file | |
| 324 with our local changes. | |
