I highly doubt it's legal. I've looked in fraunhofer's site, which refered me to an mp3 licensing site, that said:
"Do you license mp3/mp3PRO software to end users? No. We license mp3/mp3PRO software and patents to developers and manufacturers of software applications and hardware devices. Many software companies have a license for mp3 software applications from us (See list of Licensed Companies). Please contact them directly for their mp3/mp3PRO products or visit their web site. " They also have a list of all the companies that licensed mp3 use. Needless to say that neither redhat nor xmms.org were registered. http://mp3licensing.com/licensees/index.asp -----Original Message----- From: voguemaster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 5:48 PM To: Linux-IL Subject: Re: xmms rh8 04/10/02 14:11:16, Oleg Kobets <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Besides, you can easily d/l the missing rpm from xmms website. > >Oleg. And is THAT legal ?? Those libraries use a technology which is patented, how is that allowed ???
