------------

* Read the file COPYING.LGPL. FFmpeg and the associated libraries EXCEPT

* libswscale contains some optional processor-specific optimizations that are
distributed under the GNU General Public License.

* The files libavcodec/x86/idct_mmx.c, libavcodec/x86/h264_deblock_sse2.asm
and libavcodec/x86/h264_idct_sse2.asm are distributed under the GNU General
Public License. They are strictly optimizations and their use is optional.

* The file libavcodec/ac3dec.c is distributed under the GNU General Public

* The file libavdevice/x11grab.c is distributed under the GNU General
Public License. X11 grabbing is optional.

* The files libavcodec/jfdctfst.c, libavcodec/jfdctint.c, libavcodec/jrevdct.c
are taken from libjpeg, see the top of the files for licensing details.

* The file libavcodec/fdctref.c is copyrighted by the MPEG Software Simulation

and not compiled into libavcodec.

* Some external libraries are under GPL. If you wish to use them with FFmpeg,
you have to configure FFmpeg as GPL as well.
