[Bug 181244] Re: libcdio GPL/license violation

[Mackenzie Morgan]

For gst-plugins-ugly0.10:
The COPYING file in http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-ugly/gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.13.tar.gz and in the package in Lucid and the debian/copyright in Lucid all agree that the license is LGPLv2.1+

For libcdio:
The COPYING file in http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libcdio/libcdio-0.82.tar.gz and in the package in Lucid and the debian/copyright in Lucid all agree that the license is GPLv3+

If you believe that the FSF does not have the right to choose the GPLv3+
license for libcdio, please take this up with them.  Getting it changed
there will trickle down to all distros instead of you having to ask many
individual distros to make changes to the copyright files distributed
with their packages.

IANAL, so no comment on GPLv3+ interaction with LGPLv2.1+
