liblame0 is not DFSG free because it is a patented algorithm in a number of countries, like the US and Germany. That's why Debian and GnuSense don't distribute it. Ubuntu is probably based in a country where that patent isn't valid, so they choose to include it.

Hello,
I've got a box with gNewSense 2.3-deltah which I've read is based on
Ubuntu Hardy. When I try to install the package from the download page, or
install one of the nightly builds, I get an error about a missing dependency
liblame0. I saw an "ugly hack" listed here:

http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-09/065299.html

It works but the package is still listed as broken in Synaptic. Does this
happen for other people on Hardy or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Jonathan
