Real to GPL Helix Player -- 2:29 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Real Networks announced that they will be adding the GPL as a licensing option for their Helix Player. No, this doesn't include the RealAudio/Video codecs, but still. I downloaded and installed the RealPlayer beta, which is based on Helix code but includes the Real* codecs. It's pretty impressive. It's light years ahead of the earlier Real8/9 alphas and infinitely less annoying than that awful realOne thingy. Thanks Slashdot. Ars Technica also has an interesting blurb about it.
