Subject: MP3 decoding support in Cygwin
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2016 20:07:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d6bb0db-a60f-6dfa-5b25-87cbad467392@cygwin.com> (raw)
As you may have heard, Red Hat legal has determined that MP3 decoding
support may now be freely distributed, and hence is being added to
Fedora proper. This applies to Cygwin as well, and therefore (as I just
announced), mpg123 and libmad have been added to the distribution.
(GStreamer has had MP3 playback support since February via the acmmp3dec
plugin, which wraps Windows ACM.) Free to use these libraries in any of
your packages.
Please note that *only* MP3 *decoding* support is being allowed at this
time. So no LAME (or twoLAME), nor MPEG *video* decoding (smpeg or
libmpeg2), etc., until further notice.
While we cannot comment on any specific patents, if you have any
questions as to whether a particular package may be permitted, please
feel free to ask here.
