I haven't participated in the list before so I won't now, but I'm curious. Is there some reason you are taking all of your multimedia code out of the source base?
My all MultiMedia codes are completely written from scratch. No disassembling. I believe there are no legal issues. But, I cannot warrant... I should protect myself from any potential problems now...
Of course, someone else can just add it back in since it was GPLd code... but if there is some good reason not to add it back (patent infringement, etc.) you owe it to the community to indicate that... derived projects may already be dependent on your code. And that would make it more likely that your wishes will be carried out and no one will add the code back in.
The main issues for me are 1) restrictions of EULA - some codes may be based on information from non-VS6. I don't want to battle with EULA. 2) afraid to many pending patents. I cannot check all patents... and there are some other reasons I don't want to write...
So, finally, I decided to solicite Alexandre...
