Hi,
The dist10-code is part of the ISO 13818 standard.
So everyone can go to a good library and copy the standard.
(Here in Germany you need papers from a university or you

The LAME project, which makes MP3 encoders for Linux, was unable to
afford a Fraunhofer license and had to pull executable files from
its Web page. LAME is releasing a Vorbis encoder on Tuesday and,
Montgomery says, ''basically switching out of MP3 altogether.''

They must be rather dumb if they managed to dothis with several
distributions of the code and then contiunued to make hte mistake with the
AAC code base

Yes, the ISO code was freely available before SoloH used it. It's just
another mistake like "Lame didn't
