<http://www.the-interweb.com/serendipity/> has many more details on
findings of code from FAAC (LGPL), mpglib (LGPL), probably mpg123 (weird
attribution-contact- author-before-using-in-business license, oops, Sony
are in violation even of that), the VideoLAN project (GPL!) and who
knows what else in there.

I think First 4 Internet's motto should probably be `Copyright law: it's
