I'd be curious to know how VLC developpers feel about DPLv3
(ooops, that was a typo, it's funny enough that I dont want to fix it though :)

I personally have not read the final version, I am however quite aligned
with the declared goals and would consider using "v3 or later" in future
projects (and/or future libmpeg2/a52 major releases, if ever...)
