[Lame-dev] Res: License problem

[Roberto J. de A. <rja...@ya...>]

LAME's mpglib is actually a fork from mpg123, and back when it was forked,
its license was GPL. I suspect updating the code to the current version
of mpglib would be a time-consuming effort, not really called for at this
point.

Regards;

hi Mr Amorim
as described in lame license file ( http://lame.sourceforge.net/license.txt )
"The decoding functions provided in LAME use the mpglib decoding
engine which is under the GPL"
but i contact mpg123 maintainer and he told me that currently whole
mpg123 is under LGPL license! (but in past some parts where GPL)
he also told me to ask you to update your decoding portion or at least
the license.
why you doesn't update the license file yet?
you can contact mpg123 maintainer at :
