Written offers in products with downloads (was Re: Emtec Movie Cubes)

[stefan Wuttke]

Hi,

the problem is that I can't say there is a written offer and source 
on any media that shipped with this device.

A user of a german Forum said there is nothing on it but they don't
wan't to post here :/

I hope in next time anyone from this guys confirm here that there is
nothing!

What I have found is that are some lib static linked in the 
main application "Dvdplayer"

The libdvd* is GPL v 2
