I will update the mention of www.mp3dev.org where appropriate (not  
only in the license file) to https://lame.sourceforge.io/. You do not  
need to mention www.mp3dev.org.

Note, the current in-development version of LAME uses libmp123 as the  
decoder. As it is LGPL, the important note will go away. The only  
thing which prevents a release of the new LAME version, is a change to  
the MacOS build infrastructure regarding the use of libmp123 instead  
of the internal decoder... which may get removed if nobody provides a  
fix.

Bye,
Alexander.
