MPlayer as a whole is copyrighted by the MPlayer team. Individual -copyright notices can be found in file headers. +mpv as a whole is licensed as GPL version 2 or later (see LICENSE). Most source +files are GPLv2+, but some files are available under a more liberal license, +such as LGPLv2+, BSD, MIT, ISC, and possibly others. Look at the copyright +header of each source file, and grep the sources for "Copyright" if you need +to know details.

An exception are the files talloc.c and talloc.h, -which are LGPL 3+. -Thus MPlayer as a whole can be redistributed under terms compatible with -the GNU General Public License, version 3; see the LICENSE file for details. -(Note: this is probably a mistake.
