VLC for ARMv6 exists already :) It is just not on the store :)

As the one running this KickStarter, (and also main VLC dev + VideoLAN president) I have to say that I am happy. Running a fundraiser through KickStarter for an Free and Open Source software that was always 100% developed by volunteers was

Agreed. But multimedia is computationally intensive program.

You totally miss the point. The point is to speed up the development for Metro.

You can have the old interface back with a few clicks...

Well, no, this is not too much. This is an excellent question. Designing a UI above VLC for Metro is quite easy, and we've already done some proof of concept. Finding a designer would be simple and 1k$ for the project would be too much alre

No. First, DRM are not necessarily against all FOSS licenses (see GPLv3 discussions). And then, there are a lot of FOSS applications on Android...

Fun. :) Nitpick: it says the "FOSS that you use", not the "pre-existing FOSS that you use". Your new code could be the one you use too ;) Anyway, my opinion is that Microsoft did some work to not exclude FOSS, a contrario from Apple.

Because it is very hard, very boring and time consuming. And SFLC and SC care about "more important projects" as we were told. I usually shut down 2 violations per week and it is not decreasing...

Don't hesitate to contact us (me) if you need to discuss.

Thanks :)

If you could send us the files, that would be very welcome :)

But you did not share your rum with me, this is unacceptable :)

So far, this is just a feeling, but I cannot give numbers, because I don't have them. I'll try to compute some in the next months.

No. I am quite too busy for that...

Yep. I was surprised too :)

I am not sure to understand what you mean, to be honest.

You could do a proprietary application about libVLC+VLCKit and distribute on the AppStore. And one could still side-load your application.

The audio output and video output are still GPL, so far. Maybe this was not clear enough.

An analysis of 2009 on the App Store is totally obsolete, knowing that the ToS change every couple of months.

This limitation is gone.

We are not able to enforce the GPL anyway, so let's help companies use VLC and contribute back, so this benefits all users. Competition. AppStores and other crap of the post-PC era. :)

And a cynic would be wrong. The LGPL move started some time ago and Rémi was still at Nokia and he was pushing for it.
