You consider us stupid?

Thanks, time to unsubscribe...

Frankly I don't understand your reaction.

It seems to me I put some "if" in the sentence, and I was _asking_.

Ah, then I misunderstood.

If there is an associate cost with the distribution, just say that. It
is not written on the Real site. I simply summed up what appear to be
the facts, supported by Real distribution guidelines.

And I understand hat you assumed that our contract reading folks did
not talk to Reals contract folks.

They did talk to each other. I do not know the contract, or the real result,
but was told to me is that it would cost us per-copy royalties.

So the decision was made not to ship it.

Of course this discussion could have been avoided with a simple notice
when the player was dropped. We should be a community, after all.

And I guess the same discussion would have happend afterwards.

Not sure, but I think we now pull in the fluendo GST plugin for mp3 decoding
via online update...

Ciao, Marcus
