Re: Licence website URL

Great, thanks for updating the links Alexander.

Regarding:
"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."

What exactly would be removed, and what specifically will not be possible going forward if it is removed?

Thanks,
Al.

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.
