--- Comment #15 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
It's actually not adding anything to the LGPL, it just repeats the "no
warranties"-clause, says it's under the terms of the LGPL and hints at possibly
requiring other licenses to be acquired for commercial use and that you have to
check that yourself (e.g. patent, trademark, etc) which is not really different
from e.g. the libav h264 decoder and we have similar wording to that in the
binary packages.

IMHO it's a completely meaningless piece of text that only has the added
informational value that it tells you that the LGPL is about source code
distribution and your rights if you get binaries but that additionally use
might require you to pay some money to the patent mafia or similar.
