Hi Manfred,

Could you mail me (preferrably privately, because this is heavily off topic 
here) what a SuSE beta tester status involves and how much influence (package 
maintainer contacts, bugzilla access) one gets? I am getting more and more 
interested in become one since I find myself regularly fixing little flaws in 
SuSE packages locally that should really be fixed upstream.

I have read the relevant paragraph 
(http://bundesrecht.juris.de/bundesrecht/urhg/__95a.html) back and forth, if 
it would be legal to statically link libdvdcss into the DVD input plugin.

At least that is undoubtedly true.
