winemp3, mpg123 Patent concerns

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I check WineHQ today and was suprised that the new dev version was released on a Wednesday, not a Friday. Then I saw "Use of external libmpg123 for mp3 decoding." [Shocked] Now MP3 playback is built in? Or does this feature only hook onto an external program? If it's built in then Wine is illegal in my country, where software patents apply. Or does software patents only apply when it's for profit? Also, is winemp3, is this also built into Wine?

Thanks  :?
