| Following the great history of GNU
naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life
as a GPL'd patch against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable
of producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May 2000,
the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now LAME is the source
code for a fully LGPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival and often
surpass all commercial competitors. |
