<PRE>First I may apologize for breaking the thread
(a little technical and geographical problem...)

/&gt;/&gt;  The only non-free and non GPL part of FAAC is the ISO MPEG reference
/&gt;/&gt;  code which
/&gt;/&gt;  it is based on... to comply with this international standard (nothing
/&gt;/&gt;  strange in that)
/&gt;/&gt;  everything else is LGPL .
/&gt;/&gt;  An international standard may not be modified,  for sure, and is surely
/&gt;/&gt;  not GPL !
/&gt;/&gt;  And for this reason we may consider FAAC as non-free...
/&gt;
&gt;<i>Copying reference code is not needed to comply with an international
</I>&gt;<i>standard.

Sorry, my phrase was not clear enough :
I meant :
To comply with international standard (ISO), faac needed to be based on
/the ISO MPEG reference/  /code/  , which is non-free and non GPL, and which is included
in the sources... everything else is LGPL !
Texas Instrument wrote and copyrighted this part of the ISO MPEG reference code in 1997...


(I didn't mean that simply copying the reference code is needed to comply
with the international standard...)


Hope this post will arrive before the tonight meeting...
