Hello,
Today while I worked on the Debian packaging it was brought to my attention that the license governing src/topology is different to the rest of the library, and is not LGPL-2.1+ but GPL-2.
Linking in libtopology is the default in alsa-lib, and as I understand it, mixing LGPL2+ + GPL2 makes the resulting binaries effectively GPL2.
I am sure that was not the intention for obvious reasons. The code is © Intel Corporation, so possibly this needs to be escalated there in the first place.
