i dont know, probably many people dont even know about it, and thouse
who do dont understand why theres a problem at all ...

what iam affraid off is if things like this are ignored then more and more
people will add a minor clause to the GPL for their software, and even if
its limited to advertising clauses ... do we want 10 pages of this in
every program due to code from different places being merged?

and to go farther in your direction, why not update internal libfaad to 
the lastest version if its so irrelevant?

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
