Maybe I shouldn't have used the word stolen while SCOx are in the news ;-)

What I did for the metaflac patch was to copy the method used to 
generate Replay Gain tags and extend it to record the time and volume 
profile at the start and end of tracks. The Replay Gain code is from 
metaflac so I guess that's covered by GPL. I'm happy to give the 
copyright to the metaflac patch to Xiph or anyone that will put it in 
FLAC. More than happy, to paraphrase Spiderman: With great copyright 
ownership comes great hordes of blood-sucking ambulance-chasers.

The MPD patches were done in a similar way using the Replay Gain and 
crossfade code from MPD. There isn't any code copied from one project to 
another.

Hope this helps,
Tim.
