A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Jean-Marc Valin <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: lgpl
Other License: Note that most of the software is LGPL, but some of the files
are released under the (modified) BSD license.
Package: Speex
System name: speex
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
Description:
I am the maintainer and main developer of the Speex
(http://speex.sourceforge.net/) project and would like to move it on Savannah.
Speex is a free (LGPL) and patent-free voice codec. Unlike other codecs like
MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is specially designed for compressing voice at low
bit-rates for applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), Internet radio, audio
books. In some sense, it is meant to be complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.
It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46651
Other Software Required:
The libogg (http://www.xiph.org/ogg/index.html) library is recommended for
Speex. It is free software.
Other Comments:
RMS and I agreed that the project is important and should become part of the
GNU project. I will also assign copyright to the FSF.
