Not good :(

Are we to assume since there is no explicit grant to modify that it can't be
done?  The license doesn't address modifications at all.

Correct.  I believe some live recordings are still being done in shorten too.

> FFMpeg has an LGPLed decoder for Shorten.

I didn't know that.  I guess I wasn't setup with ffmpeg when I first built this
package on Fedora years ago :)

The decoder is all I really care about anyway.

If the consensus is that this package is too much trouble to add, I'll drop the
request.
