We have read the article about ??Can I use LAME in my commercial program??? We
would like to ask you for helping us to get/obtain the legal authorization or can you
tell us how to obtain the legal authorization?
Is there anythig in particular that we have to look out for if we use your MP3
encoder?
We (Lame developers) are providing you a technology implementation of mp3 encoder. According to the license we are using (LGPL) we grant you the right to use our code provided that
a) you mention in your program that you are using our encoder
b) if you modify our source code, you have to make those modifications freely available
But the mp3 technology is covered by patents that we do not own. According to your country, you might be required to obtain a license permission on the technology (see mp3licensing.com).
By using Lame, you are saving cost on technology implementation, but we can not do anything regarding potential patent fees.
