Railo CFVIDEOPLAYER 'borrowed' from JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER?

Railo doesn't mention anything on their site/blog about 'borrowing' the flv-player from Jeroen Wijering.

So please let me know if you see any difference between these flv-players:

Hi Ernst,
As far as I know Gert from Railo mentioned at cfunited that cfvideo cannot be open source because of the third party library licensing issue. I don't not know the name of the library.

Ernst,

you are absolutely right. We use this player because we think it is the best. We have a corresponding license for it in order to distribute it with Railo 3.0 and Railo 3.1 Open Source. If someone asked, like you do, I gladly admit, that it's the one...

@Sana, cfvideo cannot but cfvideoplayer can (be open source). See Gert's blog for more details.

Gert,

Thanks for your explanation.
I agree, it's the best player out there. Just bought two licenses for it, so that's why I was surprised.
