Re: MP3 is free (?)

[Amr Ibrahim]

Hello,

As far as I know, In gstreamer 1.12, mp3 decoding is done by the mpg123 
plugin (libgstmpg123.so) in gst-plugins-ugly.

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-ugly-plugins/html/gst-plugins-ugly-plugins-plugin-mpg123.html

In Debian/Ubuntu, it is in the gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly package, which 
depends on libmpg123-0.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the Ubuntu installer suggests 
gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 for mp3 decoding. I don't know whether Fluendo 
(the company) still maintains that plugin or not. On the other hand, I 
can see that mpg123 is actively maintained.

Amr

Hi Daniel,

I spoke to our legal team a couple of months back to check in on MP3s and
the general advice was to wait a little bit longer, probably 18.04 LTS
before making any changes.

Cheers, Will

MP3 is free (?)

[Daniel van Vugt]

Are there plans to change the packages included in Ubuntu 17.10 with the 
end of MP3 licensing?
