[opendtv] Re: QuickTime 7 HD Gallery

I think Mplayer and the like officially only distribute source 
code.  While that may not make them technically immune to patent 
claims I'm not aware yet of any being successfully pursued under 
those conditions.

In any event, I doubt those sorts of open source projects will 
become impossible to find.
