-However, the server side links to the GPL-only library 'libsamplerate' which
-practically downgrades the license of the server part to GPL (see file GPL for
-details), exercising section 3 of the LGPL.
-
-Hence you should treat the client library ('libpulse') of PulseAudio as being
-LGPL licensed and the server part ('libpulsecore') as being GPL licensed. Since
-the PulseAudio daemon and the modules link to 'libpulsecore' they are of course
-also GPL licensed.
+However, the server side has optional GPL dependencies. These include the
+libsamplerate (for core libraries) and bluez (for the bluetooth proximity helper
+program) libraries, although others may also be included in the future. If
+PulseAudio is compiled with these optional components, this effectively
+downgrades the license of the server part to GPL (see file GPL for details),
+exercising section 3 of the LGPL. In such circumstances, you should treat the
+client library (libpulse) of PulseAudio as being LGPL licensed and the server
+part (libpulsecore) as being GPL licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon, tests,
+various utilities/helpers and the modules link to libpulsecore and/or the
+afore mentioned optional GPL dependencies they are of course also GPL licensed
+also in this scenario.
