Description

Summary of the bug: SmartCutter is a for-pay proprietary program developed by Fame Ring. The website is: http://fame-ring.com/smart_cutter.html

The Windows executable can be easily inspected for strings showing that it violates the license of MPlayer (and other FLOSS tools).

How to reproduce: Run this command on the "portable version" executable.

$ grep -abr -e 'MPlayer.[0-9]' smart.exe | strings | head
