PIKA never asked me for permission for this and I would've said "no" to
what PIKA is doing.

  I'm against MPD linking/shipping with proprietary code in all forms.
  Now and forever, this position will not change regardless of whether
  or not I'm around to answer or not.

Thanks for taking care of this.



Btw, I do like the Affero General Public License and consider me being
in favor of relicensing MPD under it (if it ever comes up and everybody
else approves).
