theora dev - Aug 2007 - Pure Java theora implementation - LGPL

I've started working on a pure-java port of Theora under the LGPL, as a 
subproject of FMJ, the open-source implementation of JMF.  It is similar 
to and dependent on the jogg/jorbis libraries from jcraft.

The Cortado implementation is nice, but since it is GPL, that is too 
restrictive for FMJ, which is LGPL.

This is, naturally, a large undertaking, and any help by anyone 
interested would be appreciated.  Feel free to contact me.

The theora decoder (in the com/fluendo/jheora module) is LGPL. It is
only the Cortado player applet that is under GPL.
