Seems like we might have more luck, the author(s) of the MPlayer parts
seem to already have agreed before (I just got a confirmation of that),
and the original code seems to have been relicensed:
http://matrixgl.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=matrixgl/matrixgl;a=blob_plain;f=src/matrix.c;hb=HEAD
I propose to give a few days of time for the authors to raise any
objections/issues I missed, but otherwise I think we can go ahead
and change the license, do you agree?
