They well do so as they offer cost based commercial licenced, so for a free but not FOSS software who knows what they'll say.

"The commercial edition is available for use in proprietary software applications. The standard licence is extremely flexible, and a budget independent-developer licence is also available for individuals working on low-cost applications.

With the commercial edition you also obtain the source code with the right to modify it if you desire, along with 12 months of updates. Optionally at a small extra cost we can provide ready-to-use binary libraries for Win32 and OS/X.

The commercial edition contains essentially the same source code as the Free Software edition, but provides more flexibility in build environment and library support, including support for Intel Integrated Performance Primitives and Apple Accelerate/vDSP frameworks as alternatives to FFTW and libsamplerate (though you can also use these if you have commercial licenses for them).

For pricing and more details, please contact us."

Can be no harm in contacting them anyway, if it hasn't been done previously.



Or was the one mentioned by another poster (sorry forgot what it was called) also GPL only? Have to admit licensing isn't overly a strong point of mine...
