I will relicense to LGPL if/when upstream live uses a publicly accessible 
source control system with an open protocol. He refused to do that [1], and 
hence I am unwilling to cooperate.

Debian (and I assume Ubuntu) only use live555 from VLC and MPlayer. Both of 
those are already GPL'd, so that's not really an issue.
