-<P>Foreword: using (some) XAnim codecs with other program than XAnim, is
-<B><I>ILLEGAL</I></B>. It is <B>YOUR</B> responsibility to read its license,
-and do accordingly. The authors of <B>MPlayer</B> can't be held responsible for
-any unlawful act of the user.</P>
+<P>Foreword:
+Be advised that the XAnim binary codecs are packaged with a piece of text
+claiming to be a legally binding software license which, among other
+absurdities, forbids the user to use the codecs in conjunction with any
+program other than XAnim. As the XAnim author has yet to bring legal
+action against anyone for codec-related issues, the MPlayer developers
+don't lose too much sleep over this and you probably shouldn't, either.

 <P>So yes, <B>MPlayer</B> can use XAnim's codecs for decoding. It's very
 easy to enable them:</P>
