[x264-devel] Re: Suspected GPL violation by Erightsoft "super"

[Tobias Jakobi]

Hi Christoph,

I did know about SUPER for some time now but never really tried it out. 
So I downloaded it today (a few minutes ago), installed and checked the 
created files. They are right about what they say in their forums. SUPER 
is only a frontend for the tools they list (mencoder, x264, etc.). You 
can check this yourself. The frontend executable itself is tiny compared 
to all the other executables that do the real work. So I doubt there is 
any stolen-from-GPL code in their project. And IIRC the GPL does allow 
all this.

Regards,
Tobias
