Hi, I am Edouard from Radionomy, the company who recently bought Winamp. The app is currently under development and will be relaunched soon as a freeware. In the meantime, we are reviewing the licenses needed in order to use the MP3 and AAC formats. We were planning to use the LAME library which include these formats but we would like to get your opinion first. Are the licensing fees for these formats also required for freeware, or is there some sort of tolerance from patents' owners? Also, do you have any idea how other freeware are dealing with this (VLC, etc.)? Could you please help us with these questions ? Thank you very much for your help, Edouard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft
