I grant the OpenBeOS the right to use NiftyPlayer in any way may suit.
The current version still has lots of bugs *sigh*, and the license is still 
quite undefined. Actually up to now I just used Be's sample code license.
The current code has some bugs corrected from the published version on BeBits.
But I'm undergoing a total rewrite and I plan to put it under GPL (yeah I hear 
you screaming), maybe I will use a dual licence GPL/MIT (Mozilla now uses 3 
licences concurrently :) ). This will depend on the other software I will use 
code from also (thinking about ffmpeg...).
I can't tell much more for now, because either I want to make the surprise, and 
also I don't want to make to many promises.

Eh =)
Btw I hope someday I'll be able to work on the kernel (I wasn't even able to 
touch the code for nplay for 1 month :-(). Anyway I should have some more next 
week, and by the end of Feb the courses are over, so I assume I'll have some 
more time also (don't want to be to optimistic anyway, we'll see).

François.
