BTW, while the note #2 is an "activist" one, note #1 is a "pragmatic
one". LGPLv2 theoritically prevents any patent holder or patent to
distribute LAME. That is a huge problem for some companies, and goes far
beyond only LAME.
It only prevents redistribution by holders of a patent that applies to
LAME, or by those who have bought a patent license. I think this is a
desirable side effect.
Well, the only result is that some companies are then choosing to use a
closed-source encoder from an other provider. To me that is hardly a
desirable side effect.
(btw, that's bit off-topic, isn't it?)
