<P>FLAC has joined the Xiph project; see <A HREF="http://xiph.org/ogg/flac.html">here</A> for the press release.</P>
<P><A HREF="http://xiph.org/">Xiph.org</A> is behind other free codecs such as <A HREF="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</A>, <A HREF="http://www.theora.org/">Theora</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.speex.org/">Speex</A>. Our merger with Xiph will bring FLAC into the ranks and lead to better integration with the <A HREF="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/">Ogg multimedia framework</A>.</P>
<P>Note that the FLAC format is not changing, native FLAC will continue to exist, and the command-line tools and plugins will continue to work as before. The codec libraries will now be available under Xiph's BSD-like license.</P>
