Hallo Musikfreunde,
Hallo Helmuth!
OggVorbis hat angeblich eine ungeklärte Lizenz und sei abhängig von proprietären Rechten.
Hast Du da nähere Hinweise? Wikipedia kommt zu dem Schluß, daß das nur FUD¹ sein kann... --? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg_Vorbis
Licensing Vorbis's specifications are in the public domain, its libraries are released under a BSD-style license, and its tools are released under the GPL (GNU General Public License). The Xiph.org Foundation says that Vorbis, like all its developments, is completely free from the licensing or patent issues raised by other proprietary formats such as MP3. Although Xiph claims to have conducted a limited patent search that supports its claims, outside parties have expressed doubt that Vorbis is free of patented technology. Xiph says that it was issued a legal opinion privately subject to attorney/client privilege, and has not released an official statement on the patent status of Vorbis. No conclusive evidence has been presented that Vorbis is or is not patent-free as of 2004. Vorbis proponents have derided the uncertainty concerning the patent status as "FUD" disinformation spread by large companies with a vested interest.
