+ On Thu, 30 Jul 2015 there was an attempt to contact the author via the MPlayer
+ IRC channel, their mailing list and emails to the previous Debian maintainers
+ to see if they had a copy of that statment. In short, it seems that even the
+ MPlayer developers have tried to contact him and others skin developers and
+ have failed. He is impressively off the grid and nothing can be found about
+ him online. Unless the old maintainers saved the statment from 2006 the only
+ reference is the copyright file from the 1.6-2 package. That file was updated
+ to the DEP-5 format and no other change was made.
