on http://wiki.xiph.org/Bounties#Ogg_Vorbis_Bitrate_Peeling it says:

4. All work submitted must be licenced under the GPL or compatable 
licence (excepting circumstances where other licences conflict)

since the peeler would be an update for the encoding libraries, it has 
to be a BSD licence, right? and since the original poster wanted to use 
it for commercial purposes (for a handheld device?) he most likely won't 
like a GPL library, because then he would have to release the whole 
firmware in GPL.

wouldn't it be safer to change (4) to

All work submitted must be licenced under a BSD compatable licence.

? maybe then more commercial donators would be attracted...
