Developers

FLAC is an open source project and we are happy to enlist the help of anyone who wants to contribute, or to help with FLAC support in other programs and devices. The preferred method of communication is the developer mailing list (you must subscribe to post).

FLAC is open to third-party developers who want to add support for FLAC into their programs. All the necessary functionality is contained in the libFLAC libraries which are licensed under Xiph.org's BSD license.

Goals

Since FLAC is an open-source project, it's important to have a set of goals that everyone works to. They may change slightly from time to time but they're a good guideline. Changes should be in line with the goals and should not attempt to embrace any of the anti-goals.
