+   Android, which is under its own licence. See NOTICE.
+ - The code for dabplus-enc in src/ licensed under the Apache Licence v2.0. See

+ - libtoolame-dab, derived from TooLAME, licensed under LGPL v2.1 or later. See
+   libtoolame-dab/LGPL.txt
+
+These source files are compiled and linked together into the dabplus-enc encoder.
+
+In addition to the audio encoder, there is also mot-encoder, containing code
+
+ - in src/ that is GPL v3+ licensed
+ - and a crc library with unclear licence situation in contrib/
+
+Whether it is legal or not to distribute compiled binaries from these sources
+is unclear to me. Please seek legal advice to answer this question.
