Codec Licenses
From GameStudio Wiki
Important audio and video codecs and their license behavior:
| Codec | Type | License restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 | Audio | A License is needed for commercial use of the mp3 codec, but no license is needed for private, non-commercial activities. You have to pay $2,500 per commercial title. You do not have to pay any fees if you sell 5000 copies or less. http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/games.html |
| OGG Vorbis | Audio | The OGG Vorbis specification is public domain, so you dont need to pay any fees, no matter if you sell your game or distribute it as freeware. http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#com |
