<!-- pepper -->
<P>
Secret Rabbit Code is released under a dual licensing scheme.
Users can choose which of these two licenses they wish to operate
under :
</P>
<!-- pepper -->
<UL>
<LI> The standard
<A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">
GNU General Public License (version 2 or version 3)
</A>
(GPL) as written and published by the Free Software Foundation.
<LI> The very generous
<A HREF="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/libsamplerate-cul.pdf">
libsamplerate Commercial Use License
</A>
that can be purchased for a one off payment of $1000 (one
thousand) Australian dollars.
</UL>
<!-- pepper -->
<P>
Any person or organisation wishing to distribute (either privately or
publicly) software which uses Secret Rabbit Code must either abide by
the GPL or purchase a commercial use license.
</P>
<!-- pepper -->
<P>
The commercial use license allows licensees to use libsamplerate as a
statically linked library in proprietary, shareware or other closed
source applications.
The licensee may use libsamplerate in as many separate products as
they choose and sell as many copies of each as they can without paying
any further licensing fees for libsamplerate.
</P>
<!-- pepper -->
<P>
2005-08-09 : There is a certain amount of
<A HREF="http://www.wordiq.com/definition/GNU_General_Public_License#GPL-related_disputes">
debate</A>
about whether non-GPL software can dynamically link to GPL libraries.
I side with the FSF and assert that an executable dynamically linked
to libsamplerate is a derivative work of libsamplerate and is
therefore subject to the GNU GPL.
