Humm... and given the search space is just giant (and not
mindboggingly huge), you could even add a loop that generates a random
446-byte-long content until it matches the md5sum and the sha1sum for
said file?

documents must be as unambiguous as possible. Forbiding somebody to be

evil.
(Hence the license forbids the author form redistributing his own
software under said license? Hmm... Shutup! I said this would be in a
licensing
scheme for his work. The original author can choose to use GPL plus an
extra restriction — Any subsequent modifier or repackager, however,
cannot place similar restrictions. So, here the question is whether
the restriction was added by those files' authors or by the xvidcore

If you confuse patents and copyright, it might be true. However,
copyright deals with the exact, specific implementation
("materalization") of ideas or other creative forms, not the ideas
