No, it's just that the decoder still has some issues with one of its QMF synthesis filters, and the developer seems busy right now to fix it. The spec is very long, very obtuse, and very annoying. The decoder will be lgpl like the rest of our code. We really can't care less about patents (we don't read them either, they're all useless), and C&Ds aren't really worth the paper they're printed on in Europe, so we've been left alone, hopefully for the future too. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
