It is opensource, but.
Only vp31 is opensource, vp32 ("Pro" version of vp31) is not.
It is opensource, but it's windows/mac code, not ported to unix/linux yet.
(there is a linux/ subdir somewhere in the sourec with some file io stfuf,
but iut is not used yet, maybe they planned to port but didn't finished)
No asm optimizations for gnu asm yet. So it means lots of work, while the
dll works simply. If someone on non-x86 sustem really need it, he can port
the codec and send us/them patches...
