funny thing their forum rules:
* DON'T post or link to any copyrighted materials in any form, especially
 Microsoft.
* DON'T discuss piracy, warez, sharing movies etc. on this forum
* This website is totally opposed to any form of piracy. If you use software,
 pay for it

hmmm, gpl still means Copyright under the terms of gpl... so violating gpl
is against their own forum rules, isn't it?
if they want people to pay for software, they could pay for gpl-software by
following gpl's rules?

btw, i also found this link with google searching for gpl:
*  What to do if you see a possible GPL violation  
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html

though i believe mplayer delevopers in this, i'd be interested how this
was found out, too.
