2004.03.26, Friday :: Leaving MPlayer
posted by A'rpi
I (A'rpi) already left MPlayer G1 a year ago, when 0.90 was released. This is not YAML (Yet Another Mplayer Leaving  ), I left G1 dev to work on MPlayer G2. Now I'm leaving the whole MPlayer project, including G2 development and all the rest, except for MPHQ server administration (for technical reasons). I did not read mplayer lists (any) since months (except for a few mails pointed to me), and I lost the rest of my interest towards MPlayer development.
About G2, my primary reason of giving up on it was the dual licensing issues, discussed recently on the g2-dev list. My opinion about GPL was proven again, ie. it doesn't protect us against code stealing (see the KiSS issue for example), while it keeps project sponsors and companies away. I wanted to make G2 to be usable by any program as the standard linux media lib/API, but GPL is too strict for this, and all other license options were immediately refused by all other (potential) G2 developers. Of course G2 can be written as free GPL software (free as RMS) too, but it will took long, and I have no interest to participate. |
