<pre><a href="https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/src/utils/qpaeq">https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/src/utils/qpaeq</a>
is AGPL but pulseaudio is not.
AGPL is obviously a license that is problematic for some, and qpaeq seems to be
a default build target for pulseaudio.
I'm putting this as major since it's important that each user knows what
licenses they have to abide by and as of now they could be unknowingly
violating the license.
IMO, one of those things ought to happen
1) qpaeq gets relicensed under GPL or some other license
2) qpaeq gets removed entirely or removed from default builds
3) top level <a href="https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/LICENSE">https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/LICENSE</a> warns
about this AGPL bit and AGPL added in full at the top level</pre>
