Isn't it free to use? As long as Laurent doesn't create the codec, simply supply an existing library, then he is off the hook... I think.

If not, an alternate route is to just provide support for it either as a plug-in and just tell people how to find it elsewhere, or provide the source code needed to get it working and just not the binaries.

Edit....
Wow it is free, kinda weird to see a buy button after being on the open source stuff ferns long....
