Those behind the open source Internet video player Miro have launched a new adoption system! No, you won’t be adopting babies or kittens, or even polar bears in Antarctica—instead, users can “adopt” a line of source code from Miro for $4 in order to help support the continued development of the software.
Miro (originally Democracy Player) was relaunched by the Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF) in 2007.

PCF recently released Miro 2.0 with some UI improvements, support for more Web-based video sources, and direct download improvements.
