|
external libraries |
|
|
|
|
================== |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some external libraries, e.g. libx264, are under GPL and can be used in |
|
|
|
|
conjunction with Libav. They require --enable-gpl to be passed to configure |
|
|
|
|
as well. |
|
|
|
|
Libav can be combined with a number of external libraries, which sometimes |
|
|
|
|
affect the licensing of binaries resulting from the combination. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The OpenCORE external 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 the OpenCORE libraries with Libav, the license |
|
|
|
|
version needs to be upgraded by passing --enable-version3 to configure. |
|
|
|
|
compatible libraries |
|
|
|
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The nonfree external library libfaac can be hooked up in Libav. You need to |
|
|
|
|
pass --enable-nonfree to configure to enable it. Employ this option with care |
|
|
|
|
as Libav then becomes nonfree and unredistributable. |
|
|
|
|
The libcdio, libx264, 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. |
