This makes the plugin GPL also. Apparently the GStreamer community asked [1] to cdparanoia developers to change the license to support LGPL, as this is the license used in core/base/good. This is from release 10.1 and we are using 10.2, so I think it is fine to say now that base is fully LGPL compatible now. [1] http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2008/08/07/cdparanoia-now-lgpl-v2/
