[MPlayer-users] Mplayer as a shared library

[Lego Andy]

Hi Arpi,

I thought you can do dynamic linking to any license. Anyway, if you would 
consider making some parts of mplayer lgpl, that would be great. Unfortunately
I do not have the power to change our project to GPL and other people probably 
would not agree.

Making parts LGPL-ed might be beneficial for other open source projects that 
could use mplayer directly.

Sorry, different lists, different rules. Most of the list I participate in
demand reply-all.
