Sounds reasonable to do.

Subject: [vlc-devel] EU patents

Considering the latest problems with esp. EU patents, I think we need to do
something again before it is too late.

I propose joining the http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ thing, by adding this
text to our main site, and I propose adding a large "topbar banner" to ALL
pages in a very distinctive color and BIG letters and linking to this text.

Cause we just REALLY DONT want this to happen and we CAN make that
difference with our userbase of millions, many of which are windows users
unlike mplayer's and other opensource friends.

We need to spread the word. Any objections?
