The original authors and copyright holders can do it. You'll have to ask them for LGPL'ing their stuff. This will not affect what they already released under the GPL. That will be GPL'ed once and forever. (at least if they had the right to release it under the GPL. if not, then the license is not valid) Ciao Robert _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
