The exception isn't a problem. All GStreamer plugins in our repository should be free. If not, report a bug for the specific plugin.

It remains unclear to me whether or not the particular GStreamer plugin used by Totem for this purpose (streaming audio from a web browser) is proprietary or libre.

hi adam,
I have to agree with Michal here. Do you know of any specific issues with this software, or just that it could be linked with proprietary software? The latter isn't a show stopper for us.

thanks,
kk

It's not a problem if it doesn't include or recommend these proprietary plugins.  I don't see how this issue differs from typical non-copyleft licenses.

When streaming music online, I checked the license of the program which played the music (totem-plugin-viewer 2.22.2: Browser PLugin using GStreamer 0.10.19). At the end of the license was this text:

"Totem contains an exception to allow the use of proprietary GStreamer plugins."
