[Bug 374900] Re: Libfaac not LGPL

[James Westby]

So, by my reading this makes libfaac undistributable, due to the conflict between
the LGPL and this license, as well as possible ambiguity as to whether we would
even be able to use the code under the original license (do we "claim[...] conformance
to the MPEG-2 NBC/ MPEG-4 Audio standards?")

Therefore it looks to me as though this package should not even be in
multiverse.

I'm not going to act on this until we have consensus between ubuntu-archive and
Reinhard though.

There are a few packages that would be impacted by its removal:

  divxenc
  h264enc
  ripit
  avidemux-plugins-common
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
  mencoder
  mplayer
  mplayer-gui 
  ogmrip
  xvidenc

Thanks,

James
