Hello,

Well, opal is a library with MPL license, as shown in its files and by
the fact that mpl-1.0.htm is found in its root directory
(http://opalvoip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opalvoip/opal/trunk/).  It
comes with plugins (see "plugins" directory at the same URL), and these
plugins seem to me to have various licenses.  For example, iLBC *codec*
has a limited commercial use
(http://opalvoip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opalvoip/opal/trunk/plugins/audio/iLBC/ilbccodec.c?revision=22678&view=markup,
line 369) license (while its *source code* is MPL) and because of that
it has been stripped from opal in debian (I hope this is the right
decision).  I need to know what should I do with the other plugins: are
they for debian main or not?

I hope I answered your question, please tell me if not.

Cheers,
