I sent a mail to Dan Dennedy, he just answered and told me that the file
originated in libdv, which started out as GPL and then was switched to
LGPL:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3273494&forum_id=5458
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3320020&forum_id=5458

So I'm changing the licensing information of that file to LGPL.
