I stumbled over another (the last?) issue, libavcodec/sparc/vis.h is
marked as GPL, although the initial commit log message says they can be
used as LGPL with permission from the author.  The other file in that
directory, libavcodec/sparc/dsputil_vis.c, has a completely confused
license header that claims both GPL and LGPL.  I'll apply the attached
patch and switch both to LPGL proper by mid-week if I don't hear any
objections.
