-------------------------------------------------------------
Some files are licensed under the GPL (see below). Because eg. pygst is
GPL licensed, you can't use python-gst0.10 in programs not compatible
with the GPL. This should be fixed upstream.

Files (in 0.10.14) licensed under the GPL, there may be more:

  ./gstltihooks.py: GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) 
  ./common/coverage/coverage-report.pl: GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF
address) 
  ./common/coverage/coverage-report-entry.pl: GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect
FSF address) 
  ./common/gstdoc-scangobj: GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) 
  ./pygst.py.in: GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
