 link to libpulsecore and/or the afore mentioned optional GPL dependencies they
 are of course also GPL licensed also in this scenario.
 
+In addition to this, if D-Bus support is enabled, the PulseAudio client library
+(libpulse) MAY be demoted to GPL, depending on the license adopted for libdbus.
+libdbus is licensed under either of the Academic Free License 2.1 or GPL 2.0 or
+above. Which of these applies is your choice, and the result affects the
+licensing of libpulse and thus, potentially, all programs that link to
+libpulse.

 Andre Adrian's echo cancellation implementation is licensed under a less
 restrictive license - see src/modules/echo-cancel/adrian-license.txt for
