Binary distribution of MPlayer
- -Tons of users asked us about this. For example Debian users tend to say: Oh,
-I can apt-get install avifile
, why should I compile MPlayer ?
-While this may sound reasonable, the problem lies a bit deeper than
-those-fuckin-MPlayer-developers-hate-gcc-2.96-and-RedHat-and-Debian.
Reasons: Law
- -MPlayer describes the sourcecode. It contains several files with incompatible -licenses especially on the redistribution clauses. As source files, they are -allowed to coexist in a same project.
- -Therefore, NEITHER BINARIES NOR BINARY PACKAGES OF MPlayer ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST SINCE -SUCH OBJECTS BREAK LICENSES. PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTE SUCH BINARY PACKAGES ARE -DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.
- -So if you know somebody who maintains a binary package then forward her/him -this text and (ask him to) contact us. What (s)he is doing is illegal and IT IS -NO LONGER MPlayer, but his/her mplayer. If it breaks, it is -his/her fault. Don't come and cry on the MPlayer mailing lists, you will -most likely be blacklisted.
- -Reasons: Technical

We will (at least we wish) solve 2 of these problems in the next major release: -the legal problems (we're on removing all non-GPL codes and getting others to -change license to GPL) and the runtime CPU detection. Anyway, dependency on -various libraries, versions and environment parameters will remain.

We don't like nvidia's binary drives, their quality, unstability,
