I'm certainly willing to let this drop.  However, I would point out that
the current release of SkyOS is 4.0a, and it ships with the modified VLC
player, yet he refuses to ship any source code till 5.0 is released.  Nor
does 4.0a include a written offer for the source code.

If the VLC developers see no problems with this, then I'm certainly happy
to leave it at that :-)
