| XBMC's source code is based on [[MPlayer]], a mature [[cross-platform]], [[open source]] media player that is known for playing propietry file types without having to pay the license fees.

| Although XBMC is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]], it is written for use with [[XDK|Microsoft's XDK]] and so is not legally available as an executable program. Users are encoraged to compile their own [[Executable|binaries]] using the [[XDK]] and the daily [[source code]] release, rather than downloading illegally [[Compiler|compiled]] releases.
