FFmpeg:
|
|
|
|
Most files in FFmpeg are under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
|
|
or later (LGPL v2.1+). 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
|
|
FFmpeg.
|
|
|
|
Some optional parts of FFmpeg 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, FFmpeg's license changes to GPL v2+.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, the GPL parts of FFmpeg are
|
|
|
|
- libpostproc
|
|
- libmpcodecs
|
|
- optional x86 optimizations in the files
|
|
libavcodec/x86/idct_mmx.c
|
|
- libutvideo encoding/decoding wrappers in
|
|
libavcodec/libutvideo*.cpp
|
|
- the X11 grabber in libavdevice/x11grab.c
|
|
- the swresample test app in
|
|
libswresample/swresample-test.c
|
|
- the texi2pod.pl tool
|
|
- the following filters in libavfilter:
|
|
- f_ebur128.c
|
|
- vf_blackframe.c
|
|
- vf_boxblur.c
|
|
- vf_colormatrix.c
|
|
- vf_cropdetect.c
|
|
- vf_decimate.c
|
|
- vf_delogo.c
|
|
- vf_geq.c
|
|
- vf_histeq.c
|
|
- vf_hqdn3d.c
|
|
- vf_hue.c
|
|
- vf_kerndeint.c
|
|
- vf_mp.c
|
|
- vf_noise.c
|
|
- vf_owdenoise.c
|
|
- vf_pp.c
|
|
- vf_smartblur.c
|
|
- vf_stereo3d.c
|
|
- vf_super2xsai.c
|
|
- vf_tinterlace.c
|
|
- vf_yadif.c
|
|
- vsrc_mptestsrc.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
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg can be combined with a number of external libraries, which sometimes
|
|
affect the licensing of binaries resulting from the combination.
|
|
|
|
compatible libraries
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The following libraries are under GPL:
|
|
- libcdio
|
|
- libutvideo
|
|
- libvidstab
|
|
- libx264
|
|
- libxavs
|
|
- libxvid
|
|
When combining them with FFmpeg, FFmpeg 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 FFmpeg, the
|
|
license version needs to be upgraded by passing --enable-version3 to configure.
|
|
|
|
incompatible libraries
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The Fraunhofer AAC library, FAAC and aacplus are under licenses which
|
|
are incompatible with the GPLv2 and v3. We do not know for certain if their
|
|
licenses are compatible with the LGPL.
|
|
If you wish to enable these libraries, pass --enable-nonfree to configure.
|
|
But note that if you enable any of these libraries the resulting binary will
|
|
be under a complex license mix that is more restrictive than the LGPL and that
|
|
may result in additional obligations. It is possible that these
|
|
restrictions cause the resulting binary to be unredistributeable.
