The reference implementation is written in C and published, together with its source code, as free software under the terms of a BSD-like license. Software patents are being filed for techniques used in and developed for Daala. Those patents are freely licensed to everybody to use for any purpose.[2] However, the patent holders reserve the right to use them to counter patent infringement lawsuits filed by others.
Since June 20, 2013, the development is accompanied by a series of sporadically published posts on the underlying technology on the website of the Xiph.Org Foundation.[3][4][5] The Daala project is one of the collaborators in the IETF's NETVC project.
