cicm / hoalibrary-faust Goto Github PK

it seems counterintuitive to me that if I create a N order encoder there will be many inputs and I need an extra split operator e.g. :

declare name "Faust Effect";
import("stdfaust.lib");
process = _ <: ho.encoder(5, _, 0.5);

is there any case when an encoder would have more than 1 input? in which case wouldn't it be better if this split was unnecessary? is this an unavoidable artefact of the pattern matching technique used?

I noticed that the hoa.lib within the official faustlibraries is based on this code but states an LGPL+exception license, which is not compatible with the GPL that's mentioned here in README.md.
In fact, the strong copyleft of GPL, when used in a library that's supposed to be statically linked (which faust does), would enforce the use of the GPL on every work that uses it, even non-commercial open-source projects.

Maybe all this has been discussed already back when including hoa.lib into faust, but especially the license difference could be clarified here :)
