Yes, each user could ask their own lawyer and they'd be richer for it (the
lawyers that is). A much productive solution is to get an official response
from the GStreamer authors. I've seen other library authors post their official
stance in a FAQ, thereby putting this issue to rest.

So I guess what I'm asking the authors to do is:

Either officially state you allow/disallow the use of GStreamer on iOS (due to
section 10) or officially state that you are unwilling to make a declaration on
this matter (which practically speaking means that people will do it until
someone gets sued -- which again, rarely ever happens).

The main reason I opened this up on the bug-tracker instead of the mailing list
is that I don't want the post to simply go ignored (as has been the case with
other open-source projects). I am willing to move this conversation to the
mailing list so long as we get some sort of formal resolution on the matter.
