Yeah, some bindings are released under certain licenses which actually
stop the use of the library, i.e. a BSD licensed lib could have a GPL
licensed Ada binding, meaning that binding couldn't be used in a
commercial app. So yeah, it does matter and it should be specified.

You could have a look to see if there are any differences between the
Linux OpenAL and the Win32 OpenAL (this one actually being updated by
Creative).
