Would you and Felix be willing to relicense the patch under LGPL? I will relicense to LGPL if/when upstream live uses a publicly accessible source control system with an open protocol. He refused to do that [1], and hence I am unwilling to cooperate.

Debian (and I assume Ubuntu) only use live555 from VLC and MPlayer. Both of those are already GPL'd, so that's not really an issue.

The patch in question [1] seems to be written by you and Felix last year. Would you and Felix be willing to relicense the patch under LGPL? This would not require applications that use liblivemedia to be licensed under the GPL as well.

Package: liblivemedia-dev Version: 2010.02.10-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.3 Hello, The liblivemedia-dev packages applies a patch explicitly licensed under the GPL. In my understanding, this makes the resulting binaries GPL. Yet the copyright file claims Debian provides the package under LGPL. Please remove the setlocale patch or fix the licensing informations.
