I have started using the video site http://www.veetle.com great site, and great quality plus multi platform. Since I use Linux it's also better because flash sucks in Linux. The only thing you have to do is install a plugin in my browser, which make you seed the video back. Cool.
I had a problem with sound in Linux, and watch a video on my Windows machine and I started to wonder, both system seems sometimes to identify the plugin as being the VLC player. I then unpacked the windows installer and the player in the plugin is some kind of vlc player. The same in Linux.
This made me wonder since I had to agree to a licence which I thought was not true to the GPL licence that I mean VLC is licenced under.
The licence among other things said:
- You may install, use, access, display and run the Software, on a single computer, workstation or terminal ("Computer") for your personal use only. The primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use for archival purposes only.
You must, however, acquire a license for each separate Computer on which the Software is run, displayed or utilized from the server or similar device. A license for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently on different Computers.
You may not reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, alter, duplicate, modify, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, make copies of, create derivative works from, distribute or provide others with the Software in whole or part, transmit or communicate the application over a network.
Am I completely wrong, because then I am sorry to have raised the subject, and as I said I really like the service. I just like the license thing to be in order
EDIT: Forgot to say I have emailed them and have not got an answer jet
