Sometimes license issues cannot be overlooked.
The Reed solomon coder from the "GNU vcdimager" claims to be GPLd but
it is based on source code that has never been published under the GPL
nor with the permission to be published under GPL.
Other software that is based on this code (like libcdio) is also affected.
