Having GStreamer change its license to GPL would work just as well. In fact some might argue that's a better way to rectify things. :-) Folks who started libcdio and who have contributed have done so under the assumption and understanding it is GPL, not LGPL. It was registered with FSF as GPL. I am not aware of any sort of desire let alone consensus to change the license. Of course, if I'm wrong I guess folks will chime in here. > Please cc: me on any responses since I am not on this mail alias. Done. But if there is further discussion you might want to check back with the mailing list or join it. (It really doesn't generate that much email traffic.) _______________________________________________ Libcdio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libcdio-devel
