Most files in FFmpeg are under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 |
|
or later (LGPL v2.1+). Read the file COPYING.LGPL for details. Some other files |
|
have a MIT/X11/BSD-style license. 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.GPL 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 |
|
- some x86 optimizations in libswscale |
|
- optional x86 optimizations in the files |
|
libavcodec/x86/h264_deblock_sse2.asm |
|
libavcodec/x86/h264_idct_sse2.asm |
|
libavcodec/x86/idct_mmx.c |
|
- the X11 grabber in libavdevice/x11grab.c |
|
|
|
Some external libraries, e.g. libx264, are under GPL and can be used in |
|
conjunction with FFmpeg. They require --enable-gpl to be passed to configure |
|
as well. |
|
|
|
The nonfree external libraries libamrnb, libamrwb and libfaac can be hooked up |
|
in FFmpeg. You need to pass --enable-nonfree to configure to enable them. Employ |
|
this option with care as FFmpeg then becomes nonfree and unredistributable. |
|
Note that libfaac claims to be LGPL, but is not. |
|
|
|
There are a handful of files under other licensing terms, namely: |
|
|
|
* The files libavcodec/jfdctfst.c, libavcodec/jfdctint.c, libavcodec/jrevdct.c |
|
are taken from libjpeg, see the top of the files for licensing details.
