Well, its not only decss but MPEG* is a patent grave if i understand
correct. Probably as a private Person, you won't get sued for using it,
but SuSE as the biggest Linux selling company in Europe is much more exposed.
I think it is fair of them "advertising" the fact that their MPlayer
is not full featured and where to get the real thing.

probably some SuSE employees with their private site :-)
