[PD] pd-ext and Ubuntu

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

liblame0 is not DFSG free because it is a patented algorithm in a  
number of countries, like the US and Germany.  That's why Debian and  
GnuSense don't distribute it.  Ubuntu is probably based in a country  
where that patent isn't valid, so they choose to include it.
