Speaking of the Helix player, what's the deal with this "Binary Research 
Use License"?  IANAL, but the RPSL seems decent enough, but this second 
license neuters most of the rights that the first license grants, most 
specifically, the right to redistribute the source code.  

As much as I'd like to see the player in action, I can't agree to the 
second license.  Why is the player being advertised as being "copyleft" 
and "open source" when it's restricted with a proprietary license?
