As long as it is clear that the original VDR code is the same as I am
providing on ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr I have no problem with that.
By default a checkout from that CVS should retrieve exactly the same
code as I have released. If checkouts with special labels retrieve
patched or otherwise modified versions, that's fine with me.

Just be aware that the "official" VDR source is always that which I have
uploaded to ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr. I will not check the CVS to see if there
have been any changes to the original code.
