I know most of you guys don't care about this, but Wondershare is yet another one of those Chinese software outfits that take open source projects like FFmpeg, x264, MEncoder, and many others, and then sell a wrapper over it, all against GPL licensing. They never provide source, and to date I don't think they even acknowledge they use GPL-based code or binaries.

I don't know about you, but I'd be just a bit careful about installing "free" software from some outfit in the middle of China. What's included in their installer package to offset giving it away for free? Maybe it's okay, but I'll let others here try it out first.
