But where is the difference between

a) The HelixPlayer Milestone under the BEULA
b) The HelixPlayer Alpha under the RPSL
c) The RealPlayer 10 under the BEULA

Why is the Helix Player Milestone under the same License as the RealPlayer, 
but the Alpha version not?

And are there any licences which allow the distribution of the player together 
with fedora or other linux distributions?
