hmm, I don't think so. The (L)GPL defines limits where the code may 
be used, ie. what license some code must have when it wants to use
(-> import) certain code under (L)GPL, but I don't think it doesn't
say anything about what kind of code an (L)GPL project may use.

I didn't check it against the license text yet, but IMHO I dont think so.

The question is: does the helix license allow the codecs to be 
included in (L)GPL'ed applications ?
