We spent a little time here taking a look at the Vorbis licensing scheme and ran into some possible issues. In particular, the Vorbis FAQ page here says that the LGPL license applies to Vorbis libraries and GPL applies to source code (at least that's what I gather). http://www.vorbis.com/faq.html#flic http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/lesser.html Reading the text of these Gnu

...rge* amounts of software that is under various licenses other than the GPL. University licenses especially, and particularly the BSD and MIT ones, are common. These days I imagine it may be theoretically possible to assemble a fully-operative distribution with all the usual features using only GPL/LGPLed software, but I don't know that anyone has done so to date.

...GPL-compatible way, regardless of the license used in the Perl or Java interpreter that the combined Perl or Java program will run on." Clearly, having R scripts (and basically all R add-on packages) be required to have GPL-compatible licenses is not the intent (especially considering the LGPLed header files mentioned above). R's position is somewhat unique in having much of the base functionality interpreted. In practice, this legal interpretation (IANAL, etc) would require essentially all R packages and other R scripts to be licensed in a GPL-compatible way. Is a legal excepti...

Hi there. First of all, I'd like to congratulate to developers for making a free specification and LGPLed decoder/encoder. :-). I did some test, ripping 17 tracks of my CD and converting them to both MP3 and OGG format. MP3 encoder/player was Lame 3.70 OGG encoder/player was from a Saturday nightly tgz package. ------------------------------------ MP3: LAME-3.70 mpg123-0.59r-4 MP3: lame -S -b 128 $F...

Apologies for cross-posting ... This project is looking for a maintainer. To quote from the Goose web site: "Goose is a LGPLed C++ library dedicated to statistical computation. The two design goals of this project are: To create a useful and complete system that takes advantage of C++'s features to improve the clarity of statistical code and that is easier to use for programmers. To produce a complete set of Guile b...

Hello, a question to the developers: Does it make sense to try to integrate Tinc with Cspace to provide an open-source alternative to Hamachi? http://cspace.in/ I have not studied any Tinc source code yet. Comments? Regards, Christian

Hello all, I'm committing the heinous crime of posting before I've been on a list for very long, and I apologize in advance. I don't know how often this comes up and if it has recently if someone will just point me to an archive where this discussion has already happened, I'll shut up. I've got an MP3 tagger (QTagger) that I released a while back. I'm trying to
