"VideoLAN is seriously threatened by software patents due to the numerous patented techniques it implements and uses. Also threatened are the many libraries and projects which VLC is built upon, like FFmpeg, and the other fellow Free And Open Source software multimedia players, which include MPlayer, xine, Freevo, MythTV, gstreame."
If you live in the EU, please be proactive in defending VLC against EU software patent laws. Information is available on the VLC patent issues page.
