Another sticky issue: here's an excerpt from the license you have to
agree to before you can download the SDK:
Limited Use License
Avid Technology, Inc. ("AVID") grants you, the end user
("Licensee"), the non-transferable, non-exclusive right,
without the right to sublicense or rent, to use
the AAF SDK software source code (together with any upgrades,
modified versions or updates thereof, the "Software") solely
for your internal purposes. You may copy the
Software to multiple computer systems within your
organization for development purposes, but you may not
distribute the Software outside of your organization. You
may modify the Software. AVID grants you the license to
distribute unlimited copies of the Software compiled in
executable form only as linked into your software
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
applications.
...so it looks like there can be no open-source redistributing of
linux AAF code. :( I guess we could create a library implementation
of AAF and distribute that binary-only, and just link it into our
apps...
I wonder if the same is true of OMFI and AES-31...
