I personally won't pursue it (since it's one of those stupid legalese "only in name" changes issue), but I also have to wonder why to use the Real MP3 library...
The original Pico Drive was using that mp3 library to decode audio tracks for Sega CD emulation. I didn't even notice it had a license incompatibility with the rest of the code. If that poses a problem I suppose I could replace the Helix mp3 library with a GPL compatible one.
