One of the MQA partners is using MPD 0.17 in their products (which
cannot contain closed source according to Max Kellermann, see this post
http://mpd-devel.musicpd.narkive.com/Hwoeiqro/possible-gpl-violation-by-pika-technologies-inc
). You just can't link MPD to a closed source MQA decoder library, as
the GPLv2 which applies to the old MPD 0.17 as used by this vendor
cannot work together with closed source or pattented software.
