Bug ID: 92802
Summary: Source tree includes AGPL code (qpaeq) without
disclosing it at the top level
Product: PulseAudio
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: tools
Assignee: [email protected]

https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/src/utils/qpaeq
is AGPL but pulseaudio is not.
AGPL is obviously a license that is problematic for some, and qpaeq seems to be
a default build target for pulseaudio.
I'm putting this as major since it's important that each user knows what
licenses they have to abide by and as of now they could be unknowingly
violating the license.
IMO, one of those things ought to happen
1) qpaeq gets relicensed under GPL or some other license
2) qpaeq gets removed entirely or removed from default builds
3) top level https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/LICENSE warns
about this AGPL bit and AGPL added in full at the top level
