Upstream released a new 0.2.1 version, with a license version update:

https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx/releases/tag/0.2.1

The changelog has:
https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx/commit/811bc18586d634042618d633727ac0281d4170b8
> License was upgraded to GPLv3+ to to make it compatible with other projects
> under Apache License 2.0 and also to explicitly make it incompatible with
> existing Freedesktop projects due to misusing of their own CoC to support
> license violation of other projects.

For some context on that issue; see:
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/2235
* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/664
* https://bugs.gentoo.org/785634

Most of the difference between 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 is this license change; see 
https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx/compare/0.2.0...0.2.1

In the rest of the changes, there's also a patch I proposed, which is already
in the 0.2.0-* Debian packaging.

So. Notwithstanding the license change (which, at first glance, don't seem
acceptable for Debian), the rest of the updates don't justify upgrading this
package to 0.2.1, so I'm (as maintainer) tagging this as +wontfix.
