Trying to cleanup the faad/faac situation, I ended up thinking about a little situation with Amarok.
Right now the aac useflag enable support for MP4v2 tags writing through libmp4v2; the problem is that the library is licensed under MPL, while Amarok is licensed under GPL, and they are likely not compatible one to the other, which means it's impossible to redistribute binaries built this way. I wonder if with ACCEPT_LICENSES it would be possible to get a way to represent this issue, like a "unredistributable" fake license, disabled during GRP building for instance, so that the packages needing that license wouldn't be built in binary form and redistributed by us. Any proposal on this issue? Besides, we should really start caring about the GPL-2 or GPL-2+ license.. but that's going to be another mail. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Sound, ALSA, PAM, KDE, CJK, Ruby ...
