There is a bigger issue and it is more political than practical. What I
need to do, is have a way of making original squeezelite code compatible
with code not compatible with GPL. The slightly murky way of doing this,
is to add a plugin interface to squeezelite, with the code for that
plugin interface under LGPL, that loads the plugins at runtime. But this
is a "backdoor" way of doing something, that while not illegal isn't
keeping with the spirit of the GPL or what Adrian intended. I don't want
to open a door that I can't shut again! It's one thing doing something
for my own personal use, another releasing it into the wild and a couple
of weeks later, it takes on a life of its own, with other 3rd parties
producing plugins for commercial gain, and Adrian being pissed with me,
for having opened the door to the "commercialisation" of squeezelite.
