+Summary: gstputbits should be rewritten
+
+The gstputbits plugin (gstreamer/gst/putbits/putbits.[ch]) are under
+the MPEG lciense. This license clearly states that there may be IP
+in the code.  No plugin in the core should be under any license
+that is not LGPL.  This plugin should be rewritten so it can be under
+the LGPL, or moved to gst-plugins.  According to my conversations with
+Wim Taymans, the putbits plugin is only used by mpegaudio and mpeg2enc.
