Right, I'm sorry I missed doing this. (I'll blame it on accessing the
bongo-devel list through Gmane.)

I can't speculate in the results of dropping mplayer, if that is what
you are asking me. Furthermore, I don't feel strongly about having
mplayer support in Bongo. Users needing it will add it themselves,
they just have to think twice about the issue.

I just sent mail to Richard explaining that I was going to sign the
contract. It was my understanding that we each would sign personal
copies of it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because it looks like I
might be.
