           Summary: Collection scanner linked to incompatibly-licensed
                    libmp4v2 library
           Product: amarok
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Collection
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: johnkarp gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)

The collection scanner is GNU GPL. When AAC support is enabled, it is linked to \
libmp4v2. This library is licensed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL) 1.1, which \
is incompatible:

Cisco owns the copyright to libmp4v2... maybe they could be convinced to relicense. \
After all, mozilla relicensed itself to fix this issue. \
