That's very nice to hear.

See the Copyright file for details of which part of the code is
covered by which license.  It's mostly covered by the GNU General
Public License with some parts covered by the GNU Lesser General
Public License and a few small parts under different GPL compatible
licenses.  As a whole it is covered by the GNU General Public License.

You can have a look at the file yourself:

May I ask why you are inquiring about the license?  Is the GNU GPL a
problem for you?

One small note: Are you aware of the fact that MPlayer does not
support DVD menus?
