The commit message includes in its list of modules which are not converted:

- iOS audio output and video display, because author refuses the license change

- Mono, Headphone and Dolby, because author refuses the license change

So there is some dissenting opinion.

2 authors out of 230 is not that much... And for example, the author of headphone objected only on Headphone and Dolby, but allowed the rest of his code to be changed.

That's quite remarkable, given how contrary and argumentative developers often seem to be!
