<p>We discussed introducing DRM into MCF and dropped the idea pretty soon. Its
simply not feasible to make something sensible and 'safe' with the given
menpower we have, plus for an opensource project you risk that within a

sources is floating through the net, some of them having
bugs/incompatibilities or whatever.

Maybe for MCF-2 .. ;-)

But please .. dont you ever again consider putting Vorbis into WM .. lol
