libopenobex is intended to be LGPL, but linking it with libbluetooth
makes it effectively GPL. Because of this Maemo has never shipped a
libopenobex with the Bluetooth specific parts compiled in and neither
does MeeGo (AFAIK; I haven't actually verified this).

Additionally, handling Bluetooth sockets within the application and
passing them to FdOBEX is quite simple, and we even have GLib wrappers
like BtIO which make using FdOBEX much more consistent with the rest of
the BlueZ & obexd code bases than BtOBEX would ever do.
