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.
Cheers,
Cristian.
