Bug#578161: liblivemedia-dev: GPL patch is incompatible with LGPL distribution

Package: liblivemedia-dev
Version: 2010.02.10-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3


	Hello,

The liblivemedia-dev packages applies a patch explicitly licensed under
the GPL. In my understanding, this makes the resulting binaries GPL.

Yet the copyright file claims Debian provides the package under LGPL.
Please remove the setlocale patch or fix the licensing informations.

Thanks in advance,
