Trying to cleanup the faad/faac situation, I ended up thinking about a little |
| 2 |
situation with Amarok. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Right now the aac useflag enable support for MP4v2 tags writing through |
| 5 |
libmp4v2; the problem is that the library is licensed under MPL, while Amarok |
| 6 |
is licensed under GPL, and they are likely not compatible one to the other, |
| 7 |
which means it's impossible to redistribute binaries built this way. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I wonder if with ACCEPT_LICENSES it would be possible to get a way to |
| 10 |
represent this issue, like a "unredistributable" fake license, disabled |
| 11 |
during GRP building for instance, so that the packages needing that license |
| 12 |
wouldn't be built in binary form and redistributed by us. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Any proposal on this issue? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Besides, we should really start caring about the GPL-2 or GPL-2+ license.. but |
| 17 |
that's going to be another mail. |
