Um, no. From reading the source, I believe this tool only uses Reed Solomon, which is not a fountain code. The actual erasure code implementation(s) live in external libraries. Fountain codes have historically been patent encumbered (invented in the early 2000s) in a way that Reed Solomon (1960s) is not. So most open source software does not use them. We might see more use going forward with those patents expiring. |
