Not sure how he could get in any trouble from it due to the license at the very top of the file he linked:

"# BrainPlayer is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License

I'm sure Leapfrog hated to put that GPL license on there but were likely forced to due to the VLC components they're using that are GPL/LGPL.
