Ahh, I don't honestly remember that, but it is true, it does raise the 
potential.

But I do stand by my remarks...if the Fedora lawyers look at the issue 
and decide that it is acceptable to have those formats as a compile-time 
dependency disabled by default, I think that would probably be good 
enough for most other distros, and it would help with Taglib packaging 
immensely.
