When I go to lame's website, and read the following:
http://lame.sourceforge.net/license.txt
It seems to indicate that lame is LGPL through-and-through. It
does say that the decoding fucntions use the mpglib decoding
enging, which is under the GPL. However, looking at the mpg123
website, I notice that the license for mpglib was changed to
LGPL. Note the news for May 18, 2001.
http://www.mpg123.de/
So, Ronald, I'm not sure why you say "lame is an encoder. The
decoder is LGPL". Isn't lame LGPL through-and-through (assuming
you use a version of mpglib that is also LGPL)?
Thanks!
Brian
