Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio LiveDVD 2013-1110 (based on 3.7.2)

[Rafael Diniz]

Hi Zero,

You're wrong.
Dream can be distributed as it's GPL licensed. All the code is GPL, except 
concerning the AAC codec (FAAC and FAAD2), but you don't need to distribute it 
together with dream, as it dlopen()'s the AAC library dinamically (so you can 
install AAC "live"). Most windows and linux dream distributions just do not 
place the AAC together, and recommend you to just install it separatelly (from 
rarewares or a simple script that downloads the source and compile it).

Also, for the purpose of lab testing, modulation/demodulation, I don't even use 
the AAC codec, as it also comes with the great Opus codec, which is much better 
than the FAAC AAC LC encoder.

Best regards,
Rafael Diniz
