[gst-devel] Use of mp3parse in a commercial product

[Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller]

Hi Cedric,
I am not a lawyer, but the reason we put the plugin into ugly was that
it could only be used with plugins we felt could have problems. That
said we have actually discussed moving it to good at certain times as
people who want to use it with a mp3 hardware decoder for instance,
would find it useful. So as far as I can tell it would not be an issue
for you to use this plugin in your product, same goes for the aacparser
one.

We have found that the mp3parse plugin from gst-plugins-ugly could easily fix our problem. So is there any particular reason why this plugin is in -ugly? Do you foresee any issues with its use in a commercial product given that we will fulfill our obligations for MP3 patents? I will then have the same question for aacparse - same answer?
