VLC team has confirmed that their app has finally passed certification in the Windows Store.

This is an extremely short update:

Our dashboad on dev.windows.com finally says:

VLC for WinRT: Release 1 passed certification.

We need to polish a few things but we'll publish soon: the major crashes seem to be gone!

We'll keep you posted.

Does that mean that they are now actually paying to license the codecs that they use in their software instead of pretending that end users will?
