Original commit message from CVS: - clarify (i hope) faad and faac plugin licencing - move flac from LGPL to Xiph BSD like license (new license since 1.1.1) - add URL for taking (their SVN repository) - add version to required libsidplay (siddec won't compile against anything but 1.36.x)

Disclaimer: The GStreamer team makes a real effort to make sure that
|
|
the information in this file is as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
|
|
However, this file may contain errors and omissions. Some dependant
|
|
libraries change their licensing from version-to-version and some of
|
|
the libraries listed here as LGPL were under the GPL license in
|
|
older releases. Distributions which include GStreamer are responsible
|
|
for ensuring that plugins are used in accordance with licensing terms
|
|
and other laws.
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for details).
|
|
Some of our plugins however rely on libraries which are available under other
|
|
licenses. This means that if you are using an application which has a non-GPL
|
|
compatible license, for instance a closed-source application with GStreamer
|
|
you have to make sure not to use GPL linked or derived plugins. When using
|
|
GPL linked plugins GStreamer is for all practical reasons under the GPL itself.
|
|
|
|

|

mikmod libmikmod (http://mikmod.raphnet.net/)
|
|
Seems a newer release of mikmod is LGPL, though it's listed as GPL by
|
|
GStreamer.
|
|
|
|
faad libfaad (http://www.audiocoding.com/)
|
|
faad's license depends on its major version :
|
|
- for FAAD1 : it is LGPL
|
|
- for FAAD2 : it is GPL
|
|
look at these pages for more information on licenses :
|
|
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAD2
|
|
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAC
|
|
|
|
by default, GStreamer faad plugin would compile against FAAD2 if available.
|
|
it falls back to FAAD1 if not.
|
|
|
|
dirac (http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/dirac/)
|
|
The sourceforge website claims it uses GPL, LGPL, and the Mozilla Public
|
|
License 1.1. Not sure which parts GStreamer uses, and what licenses are
|
|
inherited.
|
|
|
|
effectv effectv (http://effectv.sourceforge.net/)
|
|
The sourceforge website claims it uses GPL, though it is currently
|
|
listed as an LGPL library in GStreamer.
