Hello!
Here is a project called Ace Stream <http://acestream.org>. They use 
modified VLC as their player and refuse to provide source code for it. 
There is a .patch for VLC 1.1.12 on their forums which was uploaded more 
then a year ago, but they refuse to publish new changes for current Ace 
Player, which is based on 2.0.5.
When I was asking for the source, Ace Stream administrator called me 
their license violator and I got banned from Ace Stream system without 
any explanation.
And there is a mistake in their license agreement 
<http://acestream.org/license>. It says that Ace Player HD is provided 
under the LGPLv2 license, but VLC is GPLv2 and can't be sub-licensed.
I wrote about that some time ago on videolan@videolan email, but never 
got a reply.
