"VLC media player to remain under GNU GPL version 2"
"We would however like to remind our users that, because VLC media player depends on a wide range of open-source libraries, we may be forced into distributing certain, if not all, of our official binary releases under GPL version 3, should any single of those libraries switch to a license that is incompatible with GPL version 2. We expect that third-party binary releases (such as those made by Linux and BSD distributions) will be similarly impacted. Nevertheless, we will continue to distribute the VLC media player source code under GPL "version 2 or any later version" until further notice."
