2004.01.03, Saturday :: Another stolen software in Kiss firmware
posted by Gabucino

It has been brought to my attention, that the now famous Kiss Technology - already in violation of the GNU General Public License - has been confirmed stealing another program which is also completely under the GPL license.

The software in question is the high-quality MPEG audio codec, MAD (libmad). This codec is used by a lot of other audio players, like mpg321, a command line MP3 player found in most Linux distributions - including Debian.

The strings from the Kiss firmware (matching libmad sources), can be viewed here - but you can also check it for yourself, it's really easy.

And if you do: don't be surprised when you run into more strings - which match libjpeg's.
