Bug#317129: gstreamer0.8-mad: License must be GPL, not LGPL

[Bastian Kleineidam]

Package: gstreamer0.8-mad
Version: 0.8.10-1
Severity: important

Hi,

since the MAD library is GPL licensed, and the gstreamer0.8-mad plugin
loads it in the address space with dlopen() the gstreamer0.8-mad
packet must be released under GPL, not under the LGPL[1].

[1] http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/lgpl.html, chapter 3: 
    "You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
    License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library."

Subsequently, if you install this package, your gstreamer0.8 license
also changes to the GPL. This should be noted in both gstreamer0.8
and gstreamer0.8-mad copyright files.


Regards,
  Bastian
