Read the file COPYING.LGPLv2.1 for details. Some other -files have MIT/X11/BSD-style licenses. In combination the LGPL v2.1+ applies to -Libav. - -Some optional parts of Libav are licensed under the GNU General Public License -version 2 or later (GPL v2+). See the file COPYING.GPLv2 for details. None of -these parts are used by default, you have to explicitly pass --enable-gpl to -configure to activate them. In this case, Libav's license changes to GPL v2+. - -Specifically, the GPL parts of Libav are - -- the X11 grabber in libavdevice/x11grab.c -- the texi2pod.pl tool -- the following filters in libavfilter: - - vf_blackframe.c - - vf_boxblur.c - - vf_cropdetect.c - - vf_delogo.c - - vf_hqdn3d.c - - vf_interlace.c - -Should you, for whatever reason, prefer to use version 3 of the (L)GPL, then -the configure parameter --enable-version3 will activate this licensing option -for you. Read the file COPYING.LGPLv3 or, if you have enabled GPL parts, -COPYING.GPLv3 to learn the exact legal terms that apply in this case. - -There are a handful of files under other licensing terms, namely: - -* The files libavcodec/jfdctfst.c, libavcodec/jfdctint_template.c and - libavcodec/jrevdct.c are taken from libjpeg, see the top of the files for - licensing details. Specifically note that you must credit the IJG in the - documentation accompanying your program if you only distribute executables. - You must also indicate any changes including additions and deletions to - those three files in the documentation. - - -external libraries -================== - -Libav can be combined with a number of external libraries, which sometimes -affect the licensing of binaries resulting from the combination. - -compatible libraries --------------------- - -The libcdio, libx264, libx265, libxavs and libxvid libraries are under GPL. When -combining them with Libav, Libav needs to be licensed as GPL as well by -passing --enable-gpl to configure. - -The OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0. That -license is incompatible with the LGPL v2.1 and the GPL v2, but not with -version 3 of those licenses. So to combine these libraries with Libav, the -license version needs to be upgraded by passing --enable-version3 to configure. - -incompatible libraries ----------------------- - -The Fraunhofer AAC library, FAAC and OpenSSL are under licenses incompatible -with all (L)GPL versions. Thus, unfortunately, since both licenses cannot be -satisfied simultaneously, binaries resulting from the combination of Libav -with these libraries are nonfree und unredistributable. If you wish to enable -any of these libraries nonetheless, pass --enable-nonfree to configure. |
