Hi,
I recently discovered a proprietary software violating multiple licenses of
several open source projects, including Mplayer, FFmpeg and XviD.
The program is SmartCutter by Fame Ring: http://www.fame-ring
.com/smart_cutter.html
If you download their "portable version" and grep on the binary, you will
get quite a bit of stuff:
strings smart.exe | grep XviD
[...]
This software is derived from the GNU GPL XviD codec (1.1.0).
[...]
Of course no source code nor GPL information is provided by them.
I hope you may find a way to force them into complying with the license.
They should be obliged to publish their source code at the very least.
Best regards
