I have volunteered to rewrite the DVB plugin for GStreamer and proposed
use of libdvbv5, a proposal which was stated as being entirely
acceptable, but only if libdvbv5 was LGPL. So if libdvbv5 becomes an
LGPL library, my rewrite of the GStreamer DVB plugin will certainly use
it. I will then put forward my rewrite for incorporation into the
GStreamer bad plugins (seriously misnamed library, but…).
