Bug#728419: liblivemedia: Links LGPL-incompatible code

[Luke Faraone]

Package: liblivemedia
Version: 2010.04.09-1
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG

Hello,

On a review of your package in NEW, it was discovered that the file
liveMedia/our_md5.c (and possibly others) are under a restrictive
license that prevents them from being used in combination with a LGPL
work. Since this affected the version of the package already in the
archive, I have not rejected the package from the queue.

However, this should be resolved as the current work is, while free,
incompatible with the LGPL and therefore nondistributable.
