"On April 23, 2017, Technicolor's mp3 licensing program for certain mp3 related patents and software of Technicolor and Fraunhofer IIS has been terminated." http://www.mp3licensing.com/ It seems that the FreeBSD port for LAME could now have the restriction removed, allowing the packages to be available for users by default. Perhaps the LAME option could also be enabled by default in ffmpeg? Thoughts? Regards, Ben -- -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
