LAME isn't included in Debian...
MP3 encoding is patented in some countries by the Fraunhofer Institute.
See:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package
... and the link from there to the discussion at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0006/msg01213.html
Also the MP3 Tech
- Homepage, I've read the following:
But in May 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced,
and now LAME is the source code for a fully GPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed
and quality to rival all commercial competitors.
So I'm asking myself, why LAME isn't included in Debian
competitors.
reopening the old flamewar? The license isn't the issue, it's the
Fraunhofer patent.
So I'm asking myself, why LAME isn't included in Debian...
Because it isn't.
