1 In a recent bug for Monkey's Audio Codec[1], the license file[2] seems
2 to me like it would cause some problems. Section 2 states "The use of
3 any of the Monkey's Audio source code or any component thereof from
4 another program requires express written permission from the author of
5 Monkey's Audio."

7 To me, this sounds like the user would need written permission to emerge
8 the package... Am I reading that correctly?
