Hi all, The vorbis codec is patent and royalty-free, but for mp3 one should in principle pay royalties to Fraunhofer institute ($0.05 or so ?) for each song recorded. But what about .ogg files that are made out of .mp3 files? Does the royalty then somehow inherit to the .ogg file? Just a thought...

Hi everyone, first of all, I searched through the archives for any posts resembling this, I didn't read all posts about the patents so if this has been suggested before I apologise. I read in an article on C|Net (I think, it was linked from Slashdot anyway) that Thompson are threatening to sue you if Ogg Vorbis becomes a success. Which is evil, and I'm also mad at them because they never

Hello all, is there any recent information on programming on how to add a new authentication method into OpenSSH / OpenSSL ?! Is there any other way, to add a new authentication method into openssh (one-time passwords), apart from adding the functions into sshconnect.c and sshconnect2.c Particularly I'm interested in information on "struct Authctxt" in sshconnect2 and sshuserauth2.

I was playing around with conferencing tonight. I was able to place a bunch of SIP phones and a couple of my Zap FXS phones into a conference. So I thought, "Let's see what it's like when people come in from outside." So I called a friend and had him call in on one of my Zap channels, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY POTS LINE THAT DOESN'T DO DISCONNECT SUPERVISION. When he

Looks like the mpeg gestapo are frantically at work cracking down on mpeg projects. Several important projects (tsunami mpeg, gogo, faac, etc) were shut down by the jack booted patent nazis. Since FhG, mpegla, etc plan to start charging royalties on everything even remotely mpeg-related very soon, I expect a lot of interest is going to shift to Vorbis. And soon thereafter, I expect FhG to attack

I would like to know if wine developers (well team) receives royalties or support from transgaming and cross over office creators. Because I am disgusted that the Wine creators spent so much time and effort and hard work into their creation with good intension's whilst transgaming and cross over office developers use there system to profit on things that are a necessity rather than just being

Sunil-- Actually, you do not "see that openssl has some patent issues." You do see that OpenSSL implements many algorithms, some of which have been (at various times) been patented or encumbered in some countries. Without knowing what country you're in, none of us here can really give useful advice as to which software/algorithm patents could potentially apply. To the best of my

I was playing around again with Windows and when you add members to silos, or remove them, it should not set/unset assigned silo on the user. So I've got a new pull request in Draft state still where I remove that functionality, as well as add some new commands to samba-tool user command. It turned out to be easier to add sub commands to user, as edit user wasn't quite what I thought

I hate following up to myself, but I thought a clarification of one point (specifically WRT RC5 which was mentioned in the original question) might be worthwhile...because what I should have said originally was that "To the best of my non-legally- admissible knowledge, however, none of the algorithms in the current *OpenSSH* implementation are currently encumbered by patents that would

Hi all, [For the uninitiated: a "peeler" is a program that transforms a Vorbis stream into a smaller, (somewhat) lower quality Vorbis stream, and does so quickly, by just throwing out some data.] After having prototyped several peelers that aim to peel to a certain filesize, or to a certain quality, with mixed success, I've now taken a different route: a peeler that aims for the

Hi everybody, As the Asterisk community is getting larger and larger, I was wondering that the features which are provided in Asterisk and are programmed by the open source community under GPL, or GUIs like FreePBX which also come loaded with wonderful features and uses same Asterisk, are they anywhere violating any patent laws? Most of the features work the same way as Nortel, Avaya and other

Hiya, Here is the sources to my "rehuff" program. ./rehuff in.ogg out.ogg does a lossless recoding of a vorbis stream. (It generates optimal huffman codes for the particular stream). This code is meant for developers only, until someone is kind enough to provide good build and configure support for it. I won't. And no installation help questions please. There is a little patch

Some thoughts for the new year: 1) MDCT is good for image coding 2) image coding and audio coding are two very different things 3) combine 1 and 2 4) if a psycho model is good, after leaving out what it tells you you can without hurting quality, applying the same model should yield the same results as you got before 5) from 4: decode -> encode -> decode should result in (almost) the

No offense, Segher, but the output quality of this thing is awful. =) I'll disregard the fact that, at least with *my* compiler, the source tarball I downloaded reduces every packet to zero bytes, which isn't terribly interesting. I decided to set the byte reduction to something constant: I started by dividing each packet's size by 2 just to see what would happen. The resulting ogg
