Do you wnat to be the first company to "fuck" an open source project?

I think any major wrongdoing to a high brow project would get a bit of
press and at least be moderately embarassing.

Not to mention that the FSF and the EFF would likely step in.

Not to mention the lawyers at icast shoudl someone abuse vorbis (not
that really could ever come about, but you never know).

What Paul wants to do is kosher.  If Maxis decides the LGPL is in the
way, we'll remove it. (although i honestly think in his circumstances
things are kosher under the license).
