Bug#619398: libpulse0: license issue, compile client LGPL

[David Fries]

Package: libpulse0
Version: 0.9.21-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch


As PulseAudio is trying to be the Linux desktop audio system, it is
important that the client library support programs which aren't GPL
compatible as well.  "Hence you should treat the client library
('libpulse') of PulseAudio as being LGPL licensed" but pulseaudio by
default uses libgdbm-dev, and that is GPL licensed.  Compile with
libtdb-dev which is LGPL to keep the PulseAudio client library as
LGPL.
