Oooh, you're gonna get it from the thread gestapo! They're pretty aggressive here. You might even be plonked or worse. :P
but just wanted to ask a quick on-topic follow up question. In this case, would it maybe be a matter of RealPlayer allowing Amorok to distribute their binary along with their (Amorok's) own open source product as a way to sort of "get the word out" about Realplayer to some who might not otherwise have looked into their product?
Well, I'm definitely not the one to ask about this. You might try contacting Real or Novell directly about this. I am simply guessing that Real likes to get their product out and don't care about what else is shipped with it.
