citing armin.gerritsen@philips.com:
I want to use MAD in a commercial product (COM component) on Windows and Windows CE. I understood, that if I link MAD as a seperate library (DLL), I would not break GPL.
If you use MAD as a DLL (not sure about the COM object), you have to distribute your product under the GPL, too. This is not the Library (or lesser) GPL! The same is for static linking.
The complete license can be found under http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
PS When will MAD support MP3pro? The MP3pro files I decode now, are played at too 'high speed'. I seems to get the bitrate incorrect.
I always thought MP3pro is backward compatible?
