NEW: amr_nb

[robert@…]

Port with minimal dependencies for Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrow Band audio codec used on 3g phones. Should probably go in dports/audio.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The license on this looks problematic. We certainly can't mirror the distfile.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

If I understand the website correctly, only the 3GPP packages downloaded during building have restrictions:

From the homepage:

These tarballs don't provide any 3GPP source code. It is downloaded from 3GPP during compilation. To use package compiled by this code, you may need a license from 3GPP.

It is possible to distribute these packages in three source forms:
   1. As a wrapper-only source (as you can download here or rebuild by make extradist).
   2. As a full source code including 3GPP code (as you can build by make dist) (this has a legal problems, see below).
   3. As a wrapper-only source accompanied by the original zip file (this may have a legal problems, too).

long_description is missing from the Portfile, it should also contain a note about the legal issues.

IANAL, but if we are not absolutely sure about the legal state of this port we should not add it to the tree.

See also #15828.

Is there any update on the legal issue? ffmpeg could take advantage of these (amr_nb, amr_wb) if they were available. Otherwise perhaps this ticket and the ones related to it should be closed out with appropriate notations.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Closing due to unresolved legal issues (reporter timeout). If there are any updates, feel free to reopen.
