They were pretty emphatic they did not allow re-licensing of codecs to
prvent piracy. In other words, if you have to relicense your codecs, you are
probably pirating the codec. I think that's a silly approach.

Don't get me wrong, I am keen to buy codec licenses to support a fantastic
open source project, I am keen to channel company funds to developers for
functions I need added, we want to be good members of the open source
community. I am also buying Digium hardware for our project. I just don't
want to pay for licensing that I already paid for because of a flawed copy
protection system.
