The Ogg-Libraries are under a BSD license:
What licensing applies to the included Ogg Vorbis software?
The bundled Ogg Vorbis utility software is released under the terms of the
GNU GPL, or GNU General Public License. The details can be found at
www.gnu.org.
The libraries and SDKs are released under the more business-friendly BSD
license. Please note that developers are still free to use the specification
to independently write closed-source implementations of Ogg Vorbis which are
not bound by these licenses.
