Guess GPL maniacs would have been happy, should avifile/MPlayer/xine never supported loading Win32 video+audio codecs.
Wow, didn't know that running MPlayer was loading W32 codecs into the kernel! Won't we be open to all these MS virii and worms that way?
Amused,
Mike.

I'm making no comment on the legal question as to whether its a derivative work. The kernel policy for video capture has always been that format conversion belongs in user space. In other words PWCX should be returning compressed bits to user space and the pwc compression is a userspace library anyway
