This is the file that contains the terms of use, copying, etc. for the mpg123 distribution package.

|
|
|

|
|
Main message, to include in "About ..." boxes, etc:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copyright (c) 1995-2020 by Michael Hipp and others,
|
||
|
|
free software under the terms of the LGPL v2.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is an attempt to cover the actual list of authors in the AUTHORS file.
|
||
|
|
Project maintainer since 2006 is Thomas Orgis and many people have contributed
|
||
|
|
since the Michael Hipp era, but he stays the initial source and it would
|
||
|
|
be impractical to count them all individually, so it's "and others".
|
||
|
|
Source files contain the phrase "the mpg123 project" to the same effect
|
||
|
|
in their license boilerplate; especially those that were added after
|
||
|
|
maintainership changed. The person mainly responsible for the first version
|
||
|
|
is usually named in the phrase "initially written by ...".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All files in the distribution that don't carry a license note on their own are
|
||
|
|
licensed under the terms of the LGPL 2.1; exceptions may apply, especially to
|
||
|
|
files not in the official distribution but in the revision control repository.
