When I wrote that, the wiki had a download link to the (copyrighted)
header, which pointed to download.videolan.org.

My answer obviously pointed that using copyrighted GPL-incompatible
material to build VLC is not possible.

This however looks fine to me.



I am not accusing JB of theft or whatever, merely pointing a (very
important IMO) irregularity in the development and build process.



Using copyrighted material is of course for VLC development is
of course possible.
We'll lie to nobody when we say the majority of video samples come from
peer to peer distribution.

It's fine for testing and research purposes, not for public consumption.

When you deal with such material and redistribute to other people,
please make that obvious that's it's for testing purposes, and that it
comes from dubious, if not blatently illegal, origins.
