[TriLUG] real player to go open source

[Thomas C. Meggs]

No one uses Quicktime because of the nags to purchase a full version 
every time it runs.

I imagine RealPlayer decided to go opensource after no one downloaded 
RealOne where they force you to fill out a user profile just to use the 
%#^@ thing.

Regards,
Tom
