I realized that the version of MPlayer/DOS I mirrored to ibiblio needs
updating, so I visited the site to grab the new version. Does anyone
know what version(s) of the sources were used to create this version
of MPlayer for DOS? It's distributed under the GNU GPL (v2), and its
components are GNU GPL, GNU LGPL, and similar licenses. So I cannot
mirror this to the FreeDOS archives at ibiblio without also making the
complete source code available, as well. (I suppose that means I
should not mirror the version I already have on ibiblio.) Actually,
mik shouldn't be distributing this on his web site without also making
the complete sources available as well.
The terms of the GNU GPL (v2) are:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
And 3c does not apply here (usually applies to CDs you get in books or
magazines.) But neither 3a nor 3b have been met here.
How can I get a copy of the complete sources used to build this MPlayer?
