Oh dear, some clever soul had to come with yet another license
variation.  AFAICT it's has only minimal changes compared to the
original Artistic License, which is not GPL-compatible.

MPlayer has been through enough licensing troubles and finally is
completely GPL compatible.  Support for obscure Unix flavors hardly
warrants giving that up.

Patch rejected.
