Dear Sebastian,

In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of the NEW queue I
had a look at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the
following wiki page:

http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview

I have found that the three following files have more a more permissive license
than the LGPL:

./demo/Wave_Writer.cpp
./player/Audio_Scope.cpp
./player/Music_Player.cpp

This will probably be detected by our archive administrators. I do not know if
it will make them reject your package, but to play safe and save their time, do
not hesitate to reupload a corrected version. This will not make it move
backwards in the queue.

Have a nice day,

Hi,
thanks for looking at this but debian/copyright lists this already. Just
take a look at the very bottom of the file, I say there the demo/* and
player/* are MIT/X11 licensed. Am I missing something here?

Oops, sorry for disturbing. I guess I have to check my glasses ;)

Have a nice Sunday,
