We applied many times for VLC, and they always replied that they would do it soon, but they actually never done it. :'(</p> <h3>Security</h3> <p>This is a bit bad, because VLC is one important Open Source project, and more used that some of the projects they already scan...</p> <p>Anyway, this is a bit problematic, because we need help in finding security issues and do some auditing of the VLC media player code. And since there are web plugins on VLC, this is dangerous.</p>
