That will not work.  It would require permission from each and every
MPD contributor, which is nearly 200 people.

This copyright problem must be resolved by a license change of
libmp4v2.  If no solution appears possible on their side, the plugin
will be removed from the next MPD release.

(I was not aware of this licensing problem when I merged the plugin.)
