Re: l3 - MPEG Layer 3 encoder

Well, you're in luck.  A bunch of us from the linux-smp list are hacking
on the dist10 mpeg audio encoder/decoder in the hopes of producing
something l3enc-equivalent or better.  (Read: slink ought to have a good,
free mp3 encoder in it ...)

A policy question, in general: many of the people who wrote this software
either didn't leave an email address for contacting them, or their email
bounces.  It would be nice to release this software under some sort of
license, but it's currently only marked with a "it's not our fault if it
breaks anything" notice and nothing more.  Anything we can do short of
rewriting the whole thing, or is there a "proper" way to re-release
something without being able to find the original authors?
