Speex dev - Aug 2004 - The GPL and Speex

Speex:

I am creating a closed-source projec that implements the Speex library into the
application. According to GPL, as freedom in code, my project has to be
open-source to use code from open-source project; Speex.

Basically, all I ask is special permission into using Speex into a closed-source
application. Not to forget, you will, of couse, be credited in the About box.

Reply if your interested; Don't reply and I take it as a no. I can see that
you are very busy doing things, but thats my opinion.

Cheers,
Ness J

Hi,

Short answer is that I won't give special permission. Long answer is
that I don't need to since you already have the right to include Speex
in a closed-source application. Speex is *not* released under the GPL,
but under the (revised) BSD license. The license in included in the
COPYING file and basically, it means that you can do whatever you want
as long as you give credit and a couple minor things like that.
