Hello!<br>
Here is a project called <a href="http://acestream.org"
class="postlink">Ace Stream</a>. They use modified VLC as their
player and refuse to provide source code for it. There is a .patch
for VLC 1.1.12 on their forums which was uploaded more then a year
ago, but they refuse to publish new changes for current Ace Player,
which is based on 2.0.5.<br>
When I was asking for the source, Ace Stream administrator called me
their license violator and I got banned from Ace Stream system
without any explanation.<br>
And there is a mistake in their <a
href="http://acestream.org/license" class="postlink">license
agreement</a>. It says that Ace Player HD is provided under the
LGPLv2 license, but VLC is GPLv2 and can't be sub-licensed.<br>
I wrote about that some time ago on videolan@videolan email, but
never got a reply.<br>
