It gets better... They also found some *GPL*'d code in there as well.
The best part? Said code appears to be VLC's code for Apple's DRM
(originally written by DVD Jon). So not only are they violating the
LGPL (an easy thing for them to correct), but they are violating the
GPL (a much harder thing to correct with consequences for not doing
so), but they are violating the DMCA (something with very serious
consequences).
