---------------------------------
Summary: license issue with wp7 AudioPlayer.cs and
AudioRecorder.xaml.cs
Key: CB-1756
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1756
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WP7
Affects Versions: Master
Reporter: Marcel Kinard
Assignee: Sergey Grebnov
Fix For: 2.2.0
I was looking at
incubator-cordova-wp7/templates/standalone/cordovalib/Commands/AudioPlayer.cs
and noticed on line 529 a URL to someone's blog. I looked at the blog, and it
is a code sample for writing a WAV audio header. I looked back at the cordova
source file and realized that two methods in the cordova source are a straight
copy-and-paste from the blog.
The blog indicates that samples provided fall under the Microsoft Public
License (Ms-PL). So I think some action here is necessary, such as:
a) the terms of the Ms-PL need to be followed, such as including a full copy of
the Ms-PL in the cordova distribution, or
b) rewrite these 2 methods with unique code.
Given that these 2 methods are following a spec to write out a WAV header,
doing a rewrite would seem to be easy. What does the group here think, and who
could correct this issue? It would seem this needs to get taken care of before
the final release of 2.2.0.
Also looks like the exact same issue exists in another source file,
incubator-cordova-wp7/templates/standalone/cordovalib/UI/AudioRecorder.xaml.cs
