KiSS using mplayer source code, violating GPL?
« on: January 08, 2004, 05:17:24 PM »
Kiss Technology A/S (http://www.kiss-technology.com/) is a company making DVD players which can play a lot of  formats (DivX, mp3, ogg, whatever).

According to the Mplayer homepage ( http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/news.html#kiss01
) they have included code from MPlayer (which is licensed under GPL) into their products without releasing the complete source code.

I thought that a danish company would have known better...
