+# Most of PulseAudio code is under LGPLv2.1+. There are a few exceptions:
+#
+# The "adrian" echo canceller variant has code under a non-standard permissive
+# license. See src/modules/echo-cancel/adrian-license.txt for details. This
+# recipe disables the adrian echo canceller to avoid hassle with the unusual
+# license.
+#
+# The src/modules/reserve* and src/pulsecore/rtkit* files are under the MIT
+# license.
+#
+# The src/pulsecore/filter/ directory contains code under the 3-clause BSD
+# license.
+#
+# src/utils/qpaeq is licensed under AGPL. qpaeq is not installed by this
+# recipe, however, which is why AGPL is not mentioned in LICENSE.
+#
+# People who distribute PulseAudio binaries need to also consider that there
+# are some dependencies to GPL libraries. LGPL code that depends on GPL
+# libraries probably becomes effectively GPL-licensed (at compile-time? or at
+# at link-time?). I'm not a lawyer, though, so I'm not sure of the exact
+# implications. The GPL dependencies only affect the server, not the client
+# library, with the exception of libdbus that affects both. These are the GPL
+# library dependencies:
+#
+# One of the resampler implementations uses libsamplerate. This recipe doesn't
+# enable that resampler, however.
+#
+# One of the database implementations uses gdbm. This recipe doesn't enable
+# that database implementation, however.
+#
+# module-lirc (enabled by PACKAGECONFIG[lirc]) uses LIRC.
+#
+# module-equalizer-sink uses FFTW. This recipe disables that, however.
+#
+# The dependency with the most complicated licensing considerations is libdbus.
+# When PACKAGECONFIG[dbus] is enabled (like it is by default), libdbus will be
+# used by both the server and the client library (libpulse). Does this affect
+# applications that use libpulse? It should be also noted that libdbus is
+# dual-licensed: either GPLv2+ or AFL-2 terms apply. Whose decision is it which
+# of the licenses apply? What a mess. Some people hold the view that libdbus is
+# a system library that is covered by the "special exception" in GPLv2's
+# section 3, and therefore libdbus's GPL license doesn't affect PulseAudio.
