It's still not BSDl, and the CDDL is only marginally better than the 
GPL, imho.

As for those audio formats, we don't support any compression/storage 
format in base other than just raw audio streams. And I don't think we 
ever intend to bundle third-party libraries with restrictive license. 
Ofcourse, these libraries are available from pkgsrc, which is good 
enough. What support for 'open media formats' do you expect from a base 
operating system?
