Hi list,
package sox contains bundled lpc10 library. License of lpc10 is unknown to me and unknown to sox upstream. Probably nobody (probably including lpc10 authors) bothered too much about licensing.
My questions: - Does anyone know its licensing status or original developers? Andy J. Fingerhut, previously associated with wustl.edu?
- Does any package strictly require lpc10 functionality (linear predictive voice coder)? Can I tear it out of sox?
repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps sox DVDAuthorWizard anki asterisk-voicemail dvd-slideshow festival-freebsoft-utils freewrl imagination licq mlt mozplugger openshot psi reinteract sox-plugins-freeworld terminatorX xwax
- Can the whole issue be ignored?
- Does Fedora contain other implementations of lpc10?
Thank you very much.

First, file a BZ against sox for tracking and block FE-LEGAL. Then include what you've got here. If the licensing is unclear and cannot be determined, lpc10 will have to be removed (modified tarball) and sox rebuilt without it. It might be difficult to determine usage, as it appears it's shipped as a plugin.
