Hi maintainer,

the package fails to comply with the LGPL. Quoting from the top level README:

  (LGPL, see www.gnu.org) with the following modification:
  ...
  2. You agree not to enforce any patent claims for any aspect of
     MPEG audio compression, or any other techniques contained in
     the LAME source code.

But the LPGL is clear:

  You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
  rights granted herein.

Note that I haven't checked other issues (software patents maybe?).

Torsten
