Vorbis - Jun 2003 - redistributing the win32-dlls - commercial license?

hi there,

i'm new to vorbis (this list and the spec) - and i'm pretty new to
audio-programming in general.

i have a question consurning the license of the win32-dlls i get when
downloading the vorbis-win32-sdk:

am i allowed to redistribute these libraries with a commercial program?

i want our application to be able to save .ogg instead of .wav but it's an
application that customers need to pay for. it's not the main function of
our
program, it would just be a little "nice-to-have" feature.

i've found this "license-template" in the faq:
http://www.xiph.org/licenses/bsd/
and it states: "authoritative license terms are included with each software
bundle"

but i'm unable to find any license file in the vorbis-win32-sdk. what did i
miss?

thx in advance.

ps: it's about these files: vorbisenc.dll vorbis.dll ogg.dll

Yes. See the COPYING file. If it's not in the SDK (it should be, but it
might
have been accidently missed), it's available in the source code packages.

Basically, as long as you reproduce the license (it's not long - about 4 
paragraphs) in documentation with your software, you're fine.
