[Bug 374900] Re: Libfaac not LGPL

[Jim Louvau]

Yes! Great idea! Lets forget all about "it just works." Lets
annoy/piss-off/confuse/break hundreds if not thousands of unaware end-users
by including, without knowledge or consent, into our little battle to
further our cause. Thank you for for deciding that we should all be part of
some little pissing contest. We will be ever so grateful that the wonderful,
all knowing and all seeing "developers" deigned to include all of us in
their holy war. Ooohhh lucky us!

Sorry, but the "lets piss off all of the users to further our agenda"
attitude is intolerably arrogant at best and most certainly isn't a
solution.
