Chromaprint's own source code is licensed under the MIT license, but we include some parts of the FFmpeg library, which is licensed under the LGPL 2.1 license.
As a whole, Chromaprint should be therefore considered to be licensed under the LGPL 2.1 license. We are hoping to remove the included FFmpeg code and make MIT the only license used in the project.
Note that when distributing Chromaprint in binary form, you should also take into consideration the license of the external FFT library that you compile Chromaprint with.
