[Vorbis-dev] Fwd: Flash Vorbis player

[Oliver Thuns]

Hello Arek!

Nice work, performance is still much worse than the C vorbis decoder,
but I would say it's acceptable and it's good enough for most
applications. I will try it out and most likely use it when
Flashplayer 10 will be released.

Have the Fluendo guys modified the Jorbis lib or is it still the same
Jorbis you can download from jcraft.com?

I wonder why MPL should be better than LGPL. MPL is not compatible to
the GPL 2 and LGPL is fine for most projects as long as you use fvorbis
as a library.

If you really try to put it under a less restrictive license I would
aim for a BSD-style license, that is what xiph is using for ogg and
vorbis.
