@ -315,6 +315,15 @@ II. POLICY / RULES:
IRC is good for quick discussions, but nobody is there 24/7.
14. MPlayer contains some external code that is partly patched, partly copied
verbatim (see Copyright for details). This code should not be modified
unless there is a very good reason. Much of it is maintained upstream.
We should be good open source citizens, submit our fixes upstream and keep
the differences as small as possible.
If you have to modify external code, do not forget to update the diff file
with our local changes.
Also read DOCS/tech/patches.txt !!!!
We think our rules are not too hard. If you have comments, contact us.
