gdesklets included?

[Martin Sourada]

I don't understand very much to the legal issues concerning mp3 and don't mind
it is not in Fedora by default. But I wonder, since lame mp3 implementation [1]
is licensed under LGPL, are there any other licensing/legal/other issues
blocking such an implementation?

Thanks,
Martin
