I wanna see someone try to pass a copyright infringement against GPL, lol.
Especially that VLC is a VideoLAN project:
QUOTE
VideoLAN is an organization based in France.
Therefore, most of the following page is redacted in French and refers to French law, which is the only one to be applicable to VideoLAN.
To help you, some parts are translated in English. However, if in any way, the French and English section show some conflict, the French section will prevail.
