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
