I think even rms would agree that we shouldn't use the GPL in this
case. We want to make a de facto standard and there's already a
similar library under a different license (the CDDB). GPLing our
library wouldn't do anything but hurt CD Index.
I suggest we move the library to the LGPL but keep the client and
server under the GPL. That would allow for commercial applications
and ensure the system remains public.
