License clarification

Dear Andy,

I'm in the (slow) process of packaging the Logitech Media Server for Debian, and for that to work, I'm currently looking at libmediascan. One of the most important steps to get libmediascan into Debian is to check the license of all the source. I have several requests for clarification.

  1. There's a COPYING file containing the LGPL3 in your source tree. I can only assume you meant to declare all your code to be available under the LGPL3 license. Is that correct? Did you mean LGPL3 or LGPL3 or any later version? I also note that bindings/perl/Makefile.PL claims that the license (of the binding?) is gpl_2
  2. src/libdlna/ seems to be mostly covered by the LGPL2.1 Is that also your understanding?
  3. I found a lot of precompiled libraries in lib/ and win32/, I believe I can strip those directories out. Does that seem reasonable to you?
  4. I'm a bit worried about the test data. It seems to me you created some of the test data yourself, but (last time I checked, I take this from memory) also took some files from the PNG wikipedia page. Is that correct? Do you have any other sources?
