- 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.
