For any non-open source application to be able to match data on MB by
fdmf they would need to use fdmf-derived code in their application to
generate signatures for the audio files to be matched against MBData, If
fdmf is is GPL they would have to make all their source code GPL also
which they wouldnt want to do, hence the MB Data is less useful for them
because they cant match by fdmf.
