Dear Maintainer,

I'm going to REJECT your package for the following reasons:

First of all, the library needs libquicktime1 which is no longer in Debian.
This is obviously not your fault but due to the long delay in NEW processing
for this package.  Unfortunately, it still needs fixing before the package
can be accepted.

Some files contain the following statement:
  NOT for public distribution until verified and approved by
  the MPEG/audio committee.
We assume that these files fall under the statement:
  http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/mpeg-pointers-and-resources/ implies that MSSG
  software is considered "public-domain" nowadays.
Could you please enhance the copyright file to include the verbatim section
of the text from that page including the date it was retrieved which
makes the public domain statement (for future reference in case that page
disappears).  It would also help to be explicit about why you believe
that this statement applies to the software and files in question.

In the copyright file, you list a link to LGPL in common-licenses whereas
the header is for the GPL.  Can you please fix this.

If you fix up these issues, the rest of the package looks ok.

Thanks,

Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why
your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our
concerns.
