Hello, Well, opal is a library with MPL license, as shown in its files and by the fact that mpl-1.0.htm is found in its root directory (http://opalvoip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opalvoip/opal/trunk/). It comes with plugins (see "plugins" directory at the same URL), and these plugins seem to me to have various licenses. For example, iLBC *codec* has a limited commercial use (http://opalvoip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opalvoip/opal/trunk/plugins/audio/iLBC/ilbccodec.c?revision=22678&view=markup, line 369) license (while its *source code* is MPL) and because of that it has been stripped from opal in debian (I hope this is the right decision). I need to know what should I do with the other plugins: are they for debian main or not? I hope I answered your question, please tell me if not.
