[Flac] flac (encoder, analyzer, decoder) tool now (also) available in JavaScript‏

[Rainer Rillke]

After compiling opusenc.js to JavaScript [1], now the flac tool is also available [2][3], too.

s/Check out/Clone/ https://github.com/Rillke/flac.js !

I
 am slightly nervous about its license, the GPL and what CloudFlare is 
doing: It's melting a lot of content together into one file and adding 
JavaScript that doesn't appear to be GPL or compatibly licensed -- by 
any chance, is there a possibility to get an exception (e.g. LGPL 
license) for JavaScript versions? It's also an issue to what happens in 
proprietary browsers, or more specifically in browsers with proprietary 
JavaScript VM, when they optimize code and insert custom assets. In 
theory, users of them can't abide with the licensing terms and use the 
tool online[5]. Advice welcome.

Another thing is the flac 
website[4] being GPL licensed, too. Of course one may quote from it; 
however things would be easier if it would be dual licensed, with 
something, say cc-by-sa 3.0 in addition.

Finally, thanks for the great free tools, Xiph.
