New submission from Michael <[email protected]>:
Just downloaded HooTech WAV MP3 converter from http://www.wav-mp3.com/
(http://www.wav-mp3.com/wavmp3_converter.exe) to find that it uses
avcodec-52.dll, avformat-52.dll and avutil-50.dll without any mention of
FFmpeg anywhere.
I'm not very knowledgeable in the fields of copyright, or reverse
engineering, so I don't know whether or not it actually breaks any
copyrights... anyways, the License is attached.
