Hi Carlos/All

I want to understand why LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial" was added to

meta-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/mpg123/mpg123_1.15.3.bb

in initial commit and has been carried over upgrades ever since

The license seems to be LGPL 2.0 and is explained in greater detail here

http://mpg123.org/cgi-bin/scm/mpg123/trunk/doc/ROAD_TO_LGPL?revision=2607

So what portions of it are having different terms for commercial distribution ?

Thanks

It's because MPEG audio is subject to royalties. This is also the reason why gst-plugins-ugly and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly have this flag.
