Hi Maruthi,

 

I heard back from our developer on the question you asked and have some new
information for you:

 

"If all they need is code for parsing/reading WMA files, then that code was
completely written by me and thus is covered by regular RPSL/RCSL/GPL
tri-licensing. For that, they don't need any agreement with Microsoft. Only
for licensing the Helix WM *decoding* will they need a special agreement
with MS.

 

The WMA/WMV fileformat plugin can be found at

 

dataype/wm/fileformat

 

and is located in public code and not in restricted code, so any Helix
community user can get to it."

 

I think that should help you.

 

Good luck

 

 

Scott

Hi Scott, 





 Thanks for your reply. 


 We need the Helix WM Technology for reading / parsing the WMA files. We
will NOT use it for decoding the WMA files. 


 So do we still need a Microsoft WM Interim Product Agreement ? 





Thanks and Regards,


Maruthi Srinivas Bayyavarapu
