  We prefer to avoid that the build stops after half an hour or so 
because it is waiting for user input. Also, I don't see a reason why we 
have to explicitly ask the user to accept this license. If we do that, we 
should probably do the same for all the other packages.

  If we do want explicit acceptance, then it can be done similar to the 
Qt license, i.e. add a config option that enables the --auto-accept.

  In that case, the license is still LGPL. The EULA text specifies:

This Agreement does not concern your use of any files that
are subject to an "open source" software license, such as the Free
Software Foundation "General Public License," or "GNU GPL."

  Since only GPL stuff is included in imx-lib, the rest of the EULA 
essentially doesn't apply.

  Because the libfslcodec fits in the multimedia libraries menu more than 
in the hardware handling menu.

  Note that it is not necessary to put the libfslcodec package under the 
freescale-imx directory for it to use the FREESCALE_IMX_SITE variable. At 
least, I think so :-)
