module-bluetooth-proximity has not worked for quite a while, since it uses pre-BlueZ4 APIs. Nobody complained since then, which is a good indication that it doesn't have much users. Even the original commit message refers to it more as a toy than as something of great use: "add new fun module that automatically mutes your audio devices when you leave with your bluetooth phone, and unmutes when you come back" Removing it we completely remove the dependency on libbluetooth.

All PulseAudio source files are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
|
|
License. (see file LGPL for details)
|
|
|
|
However, the server side has optional GPL dependencies. These include the
|
|
libsamplerate and gdbm (core libraries), LIRC (lirc module) and FFTW (equalizer
|
|
module), although others may also be included in the future. If PulseAudio is
|
|
compiled with these optional components, this effectively downgrades the
|
|
license of the server part to GPL (see the file GPL for details), exercising
|
|
section 3 of the LGPL. In such circumstances, you should treat the client
|
|
library (libpulse) of PulseAudio as being LGPL licensed and the server part
|
|
(libpulsecore) as being GPL licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon, tests,
|
|
various utilities/helpers and the modules 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 need to be licensed under the 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
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Some other files pulled into PA source (i.e. reference implementations that are
|
|
considered too small and stable to be considered as an external library) use the
|
|
more permissive MIT license. This include the device reservation DBus protocol
|
|
and realtime kit implementations.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, a more permissive Sun license is used for code that performs
|
|
u-law, A-law and linear PCM conversions.
|
|
|
|
While we attempt to provide a summary here, it is the ultimate responsibility of
|
|
the packager to ensure the components they use in their build of PulseAudio
|
|
meets their license requirements.
