It's based on an open source project Real is behind, but it leaves out ALL the evilness we IT managers grit our teeth about. :-)

Here's where I heard about it.

"Real Alternative is fascinating not because of its features, as it's really a rather simple media player and codec combination. But what's striking is what the player represents. Real Alternative is based on Real Networks' Helix platform, an open source implementation of the RealPlayer everyone loves to hate. Since the download link for the free Real Player or RealOne Player has historically been so difficult to find, and since those lucky few who managed to ferret out the application were rewarded with an unstable, ad-filled, annoying bit of bloatware, some crafty hackers took it upon themselves to create, well, an alternative."
