If you are using a source distribution of VLC, for example a tarball or
the CVS, then you have probably used "make install" to install the
compiled VLC. To remove it just "make uninstall". If you want to
install a newer version than the currently installed one, you should
first uninstall the first one. If you deleted the original source tree,
a "make uninstall" in the newer tree should still work.

For binary packages, remove old packages first and install the new ones

There is one additional issue you need to take care of. The VLC
binary from our website can also read encrypted DVDs with the help of
the libdvdcss library. Its use is controversial in a few countries
such as the United States because of a law called the DMCA. If you are
unsure about the legality of using and distributing this library in
your country, please consult your lawyer.

+"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
+Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
+"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must
+delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-6"><title>COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</title>
+
+<para>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
+documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies
+of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is
+included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this
+License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other
+respects.</para>
+
+<para>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
+distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
+copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
+License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
+document.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-7"><title>AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</title>
+
+<para>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
+separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
+storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
+copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal
+rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works
+permit. When the Document is included an aggregate, this License does
+not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
+derivative works of the Document.</para>
+
+<para>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
+the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers
+that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic
+equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise
+they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
+aggregate.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-8"><title>TRANSLATION</title>
+
+<para>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
+Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+Document, and any Warrany Disclaimers, provided that you also include
+the original English version of this License and the original versions
+of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the
+translation and the original version of this License or a notice or
+disclaimer, the original version will prevail.</para>
+
+<para>If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
+"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its
+Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
+title.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-9"><title>TERMINATION</title>
+
+<para>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
+except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt
+to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
+automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
+will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
+in full compliance.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-10"><title>FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</title>
+
+<para>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
+the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
+detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.</para>
+
+<para>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
+number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of
+this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option
+of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version
+or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
+Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
+number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
+as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-addendum"><title>ADDENDUM: How to use this License for
+ your documents</title>
+
+<para>To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy
+of the License in the document and put the following copyright and
+license notices just after the title page:</para>
+
+<blockquote id="copyright-sample"><para>
+ Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
+ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+ under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
+ or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+ with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
+ A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
+ Free Documentation License".
+</para></blockquote>
+
+<para>If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
+Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:</para>
+
+<blockquote id="inv-cover-sample"><para>
+ with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
+ Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
+</para></blockquote>
+
+<para>If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
+combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
+situation.</para>
+
+<para>If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
+software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
+their use in free software.</para>
