One thing that we did not cover was the UCM config file licence, if indeed there is a license for the UCM config files ? It's clear to me that the alsa-lib source and headers are LGPL, but does the LGPL also apply to the runtime UCM config files ? LGPL is specifically designed for libraries so my understanding is that it's probably not applicable to the UCM runtime configuration files.
Even if it's not a *sensible* license in the absence of anything else it's going to apply unless things aren't copyrightable at all (and even there people might not want to take the risk that someone will argue). Relicensing under something like three clause BSD does seem to make sense though.
