I wanted to ask people's thoughts as to whether distributing compiled lame binaries with FreeBSD packages is legal? http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html This site lists licensing requirements for "PC software applications which incorporate mp3 / mp3PRO decoding (player, decoder) and software applications incorporate mp3 / mp3PRO encoding capabilities (encoder, ripper, recorder, jukebox)." This is also linked from the Lame website itself: http://www.mp3-tech.org/ (click on the patents and mp3 link on right) And from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia....nd_legal_issues and note 5 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_coding_formats#Notes -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
