------- Additional Comments From brian.cameron at sun.com  2004-10-05 11:46 -------
My understanding, which could well be wrong, is that all GStreamer plugins
shipped in gst-plugins should be under the LGPL license.  My understanding is
that it is not a problem for there to be LGPL'ed plugins that interface with
GPL'ed libraries (such as the mad plugin).  However, there are a number of
plugins in gst-plugins that ship with a GPL'ed license.  These plugins include:

monoscope, jack, rtjpeg, tp, synaesthesia, vbidec, dvdreadsrc, system_encode, 
and mpeg1sys

So to fix this bug, the above plugins would need to be removed, relicensed by
their authors, or rewritten.  

As I've said before, I could be wrong about my understanding.  Perhaps someone
else can confirm whether or not this is necessary.
