[vorbis-dev] Mac BSD license question

[Jon Gamble]

Greetings,

First off let me say that Ogg Vorbis kicks butt.  Great work to all 
involved!

I apologize for fuzziness in my wording here.  There are many details I am 
not allowed to reveal at this point for fear of upsetting development 
partners.  That being said:

I have compiled the beta4 source (without modifying it) and wrapped it into 
a plugin for a commercial multimedia collaboration software.  This software 
is distributed freely.  Unfortunately, our plugin API is proprietary and 
cannot be GPLed.  Even worse, I couldn't find any precompiled vorbis 
libraries for Mac so it looks like I'm out of luck on the business friendly 
BSD front unless...  Is it ok to compile the vorbis source verbatim with the 
provided codewarrior projects, give Xiphorous credit, and assume the result 
is BSD protected rather than GPL?  Is there a compelling reason that the mac 
libraries are not available?

Apologies if this has been asked before.

+jon
