A lot of code has been written to make the API as simple as 17possible. The ISO/MPEG copyright notice is included in this file. 18 19All the other code (tier1, tier2, plugins, plugins_brief, demos 20directories) are original from CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and 21Industrial Research Organisation) of Australia. It originated in the 22Digital Media Information Systems group which has worked on analysing 23MPEG audio since 1997. Now, the Analytic Audio Systems group is 24continuing its development. 25 26---------------------------------------------------------------------- 27ISO/MPEG copyright notice: 28========================== 29 30ISO MPEG Audio Subgroup Software Simulation Group (1996) 31ISO 13818-3 MPEG-2 Audio Decoder - Lower Sampling Frequency Extension 32 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION 33 ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE DE NORMALISATION 34 ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG 11 35 CODING OF MOVING PICTURES AND ASSOCIATED AUDIO 36 37 MPEG94/ 38 Nov. 1994 39 40Source: Davis Pan (Motorola Inc.), 41 Chairman of the MPEG/audio ad hoc committee on software 42 simulation 43Title: Working Draft of MPEG/Audio Technical Report 44 45Disclaimer of Warranty 46 These software programs are available to the user without any 47license fee or royalty on an "as is" basis.
