I'm quoting from AUTHORS file from flac-1.2.1.tar.gz: /* FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec * Copyright (C) 2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007 Josh Coalson * * This file is part the FLAC project. FLAC is comprised of several * components distributed under difference licenses. The codec libraries * are distributed under Xiph.Org's BSD-like license (see the file * COPYING.Xiph in this distribution). All other programs, libraries, and * plugins are distributed under the GPL (see COPYING.GPL). The documentation * is distributed under the Gnu FDL (see COPYING.FDL). Each file in the * FLAC distribution contains at the top the terms under which it may be * distributed. * * Since this particular file is relevant to all components of FLAC, * it may be distributed under the Xiph.Org license, which is the least * restrictive of those mentioned above. See the file COPYING.Xiph in this * distribution. */ Since oggcodecs uses only the codec libraries, it falls under BSD-like license.
