New version 0.2.1
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
License was upgraded to GPLv3+ to to make it compatible with other projects
under Apache License 2.0 and also to explicitly make it incompatible with
existing Freedesktop projects due to misusing of their own CoC to support
license violation of other projects. See the README file for details.

This project is still open source, stay open source and be GPL compatible
for all other projects which do not violate GPL and other licenses. This
change affects only projects which violates GPL licenses either directly or
transitionally like Freedesktop projects.

originally derived from ffmpeg 4.0 project and licensed under GPLv3+. This codec
is mainly used in Bluetooth A2DP profile. If you need other license of this
project then please contact author for possible options. Participants of
Freedesktop and Collabora projects and any other affiliated persons with them
are not allowed to contact author.

It provides dynamic linked shared library libopenaptx.so and simple command line
utilities openaptxenc and openaptxdec for encoding and decoding operations.
Documentation for shared library is provided in C header file openaptx.h.
This library and any other project which uses this library must not be used in
other organizations, projects, applications, libraries (and in any other
software form) incompatible with libopenaptx licence or where current license of
this project is violated or where previous version of this library/license was
violated. Freedesktop and Collabora are examples of such projects which are not
allowed to use this library in any form due to license violations.

As Freedesktop and Collabora projects are continuously abusing and violating
license of this project and claiming that they can do it as it is supported
by their own Code of Conduct (including censorship practising, removal of all
user reports mentioning these activities, banning these users and not explaining
anything), this library and any other project which uses this library must not
be used or distributed in any Freedesktop or Collabora project, application or
library, either in source code, loaded or linked at compile time or at runtime
either directly or transitionally throw additional wrapper library or in any
other similar form.

As these projects are misusing their Code of Conduct to eliminate people with
different nationality, skin, religion and gender, their participants are not
allowed to contribute into this library in any form and are disallowed to send
any question, note, issue, change request or other similar thing to this project
until those projects stop violating license of other projects which they use,
unban all banned users and explain their immoral activities.

Other projects which are adding additional hidden or implicit restrictions to
their licenses throw their own Code of Conduct explanation and therefore make
them incompatible with license of this library are not allowed to use this
library or any other application based on this library in their project in any
form, including redistribution.

This project provides dynamic linked shared library libopenaptx.so and simple
command line utilities openaptxenc and openaptxdec for encoding and decoding
operations. Documentation for shared library is provided in C include header
file openaptx.h.

There is support for aptX and aptX HD codec variants. Both variants operates on
a raw 24 bit signed stereo audio samples. aptX provides fixed compress ratio 6:1

Can I ask what happened in specific (e.g. an example) of what happen which led to the restriction of freedesktop projects and Collabora.
Considering their place in the Linux ecosystem it is important to know whether they can be trusted or not and so far I haven't found anything.

It was already discussed, but Collabora and Freedesktop completed removed all information from me and other people just to mute them and hide what they are doing. They are stilling foreign code, claiming that it is written by them, removing any authorship, copyright and presenting it is theirs. And saying that they can do it. They cannot be trusted. See: #13 Collabora and Freedesktop banned everybody who pointed about it.

Per §8/LGPL and §8/GPL license was terminated with Collabora and Freedesktop and was not automatically reinstated. It applies to all versions of this library, including older and Collabora and Freedesktop cannot use this library anymore.
