Sorry for the delay, I have missed this e-mail.

Abstract: The opal source package has several plugins inside.  These
plugins have been written by various people, and use different
standards.  We have spotted the license of each plugin/standard and we
would like to know if their licenses are suitable to their inclusion in
the main distribution.

The text of the license terms are given as comment #10, at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532456#10 .  I put it
here too, for each plugin involved:

gsm-amr: snoopy:~/softs/ekiga/opal-svn/plugins/audio/gsm-amr/src$ more
amrcodec.txt
This plugin implements an interface to the AMR-NB codec for OpenH323.

For licensing reasons, the amr codec itself is not distributed with this
plugin. Instead, you must download it yourself from
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.104/26104-610.zip

Unzip that file, and unzip the file 26104-610_ANSI_C_source_code.zip within
it into this directory.
