Licenses on audio player libraries by mudlord at 8:04 PM EDT on July 25, 2010

So....

Game_Music_Emu: LGPL
Vorbis: BSD
FLAC: BSD
vgmstream: ICS
AAC/MP4/etc : GPL o.o
USF: No commercial use
viogsf/etc/ : BSD?
DUMB/module : BSD-style
MP3: LGPL
FluidSynth/BASSMIDI: Not GPL.
MilkDrop: BSD.


Just wondering if someone can help me fill the gaps. And if there is a MP4 decoder out there that doesn't use the GPL.

Main reason is....

After being banned off freenode and off the hydrogenaudio community, and XMPlay does not fit my needs, I need to program my *own* music player for my *own* purposes, and one that most importantly, fits my ethics. That is only for me, so I don't have to use future music players.

Thanks

vgmstream is under the ISC license, which is for all intents and purposes 2-clause BSD.

64th Note is under the same "no commercial use" license as PJ64.

For MP3 decoding, mpg123 is LGPL, iirc that's what lame uses for decoding. There's mpg321 that's a GPL alternative but I doubt that's what you want.

hcs:

Yeah, I don't want to hit into any legal issues *if* for example I make a public download. Won't support it though.

CD ripping doesn't concern me: EAC does that and uses CLI encoders. For file converting, could write my own convertor though.
