start asking Max about it. Since he is still working for Qualcomm we may
resolve this issue very soon. If Qualcomm and Max agree on LGPL for the
library I will also agree on it.

But I forgot to mention the SDP part of the library. In the beginning it
was based on the Affix code. I don't know how much of Affix is still in
there. However you also have to ask Stephen Crane for permission.

If everybody agree I will release a LGPL version of the library as soon
as possible.
