Hi Tuukka,

here some unsorted thoughts:

Even if Tomahawk would have a GPL 2 license, we will have the problem 
that it would be not compatible with Mixxx's licence extension for the 
Apple Mac store.

The best way to fix it would be to ask the original authors of the 
wanted source code for the permission to re-license it under the Mixxx 
license, and the terms of the Mixxx Contributor Agreement:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScC9QG327sjLL0eWftmfGUasxFFLxg6LCXJ2xHDYRzFIRqyiw/viewform?formkey=dEpYN2NkVEFnWWQzbkFfM0ZYYUZ5X2c6MQ

If this is not possible we may ask for using it under the LGPL or any 
other compatible license.

If this is also not possible we may consider to distribute Mixxx 
including the Tomahawk code under the GPL 3

Apart from the license issue, a close look to the Tomahawk code is a 
very good idea. Maybe it is necessary to reimplement it for Mixxx 
anyway. Maybe we can also find out by testing or contacting the 
developers, what works good and bad in it.

If it is required to put the streaming code into a quarantine process, 
this can be put under the GPL 3.0.
In in order to play a track forward and backward, this process can write 
a temp file or something, which is than played by Mixxx under the 
original licence.

Kind regards,

Daniel
