Hello, 2014-10-30 13:33 GMT+02:00 Tim <ignored_mailbox(a)yahoo.com.au&gt;: You are in no way obliged to send money or take other actions, even if the application mentions that it would be a nice thing to do. Linux does not require that applications running on it abstain for mentioning such things either. And even the concept of free software does not require it. Given how smplayer is in Rpmfusion-free, my impression is that it is free software. So you should be free to make a modified version that does not contain the message that offends you, and it should even be ok to distribute that. But the original application author is similarly free to release a version of the software that displays it. With proprietary software, the original author would not even be required to give you that possibility. In case of smplayer, you should have that option. -Joonas

I turned off its check for updates feature, for that reason, as well as it being that my updates would not be coming from that source.
