LAME license's violation in Android app

Dear team,

While taking a peek at a friend's Android phone, I discovered an app that
records sound in MP3 format and it uses LAME as a library to do that.

The app in question is com.app.studio.voicerecord (see:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.studio.voicerecord&hl=en). I
decompiled it and it includes two copies of lame:

$ tree lib/
lib/
├── armeabi
│   └── liblame.so
└── armeabi-v7a
    └── liblame.so

2 directories, 2 files

Unfortunately, they don't have an offer of the source code for LAME (and, in
fact, they don't even mention the use of LAME at all, from a quick glance at
the page mentioned above).

They advertise the app as "The best application for recording, HD quality"
and offer a paid version of the app.

Should I try to contact them so that they do give proper credits *and*
provide the source code for the library? I guess that I'm motivated enough
to proceed with this, but just wanted to let the other members of the
project know and give me their opinion.


Thanks,
