# 13.4. License of the sound drivers

       1 The sound support for the synthesizer is based on routines of
       2 mpeg3play version 0.9.6. That software is based on a mpeg
       3 decoder source from Frauenhofer - IIS.
       4
       5 Therefore, the following copyright notices and disclaimers apply
       6 to the sound routines:
       7
       8 1. From the public mpeg source from Frauenhofer - IIS:
       9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      10 This directory contains the MPEG-1 public source code for the Audio decoder
      11 layer 1, 2 and 3 as per printing of CD 11172-5 in April 1994.
      12
      13 The version number is 4.1.
      14
      15 As you can read in the source files work on these files is still in
      16 progress and they have not officially been released for public distribution.
      17 Nevertheless we at Fraunhofer Institute have tested the layer 3 part of
      18 the Decoder and believe that it is reasonably bug free.
      19 So feel free to evaluate the source code but keep in mind, that no
      20 warranties are associated with this software.
      21
      22 While we believe that this software is reasonably bug free and well behaved,
      23 we are in no way responsible if this software does not work the way you
      24 would expect it to work. No matter if it locks up your computer, garbles
      25 your floppy disks or does any other harmful things to your computer - it
      26 is entirely your problem.
      27 Fraunhofer - IIS and the authors of this software are not liable for
      28 any infringments or damages of third parties' rights in consequence
      29 of your use of this software. Fraunhofer - IIS or the authors are in no
      30 event liable for, respectively do not warrant the trustworthiness,
      31 quality, industrial exploitability, serviceability of this
      32 software for the supposed purposeor any other purposes.
