cannam@85: cannam@85:

The standard cannam@85: cannam@85: GNU General Public License cannam@85: cannam@85: (GPL) as written and published by the Free Software Foundation. cannam@85:
The very generous cannam@85: cannam@85: libsamplerate Commercial Use License cannam@85: cannam@85: that can be purchased for a one off payment of $1000 (one cannam@85: thousand) Australian dollars. cannam@85:

cannam@85: The commercial use license allows licensees to use libsamplerate as a cannam@85: statically linked library in proprietary, shareware or other closed cannam@85: source applications. cannam@85: The licensee may use libsamplerate in as many separate products as cannam@85: they choose and sell as many copies of each as they can without paying cannam@85: any further licensing fees for libsamplerate. cannam@85:

cannam@85: 2005-08-09 : There is a certain amount of cannam@85: cannam@85: debate cannam@85: about whether non-GPL software can dynamically link to GPL libraries. cannam@85: I side with the FSF and assert that an executable dynamically linked cannam@85: to libsamplerate is a derivative work of libsamplerate and is cannam@85: therefore subject to the GNU GPL. cannam@85:
