> @PeterBee97 @xiaoxiang781216 these headers files seem to be a direct copy of Linux V4L2 header that is GPL: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.8/media/uapi/v4l/videodev.html > > Please take care when using GPL code as reference, this is a gray area, otherwise we will need to change our license from Apache to GPL! I suggest asking support from Apache lawyers (@justinmclean does Apache have license lawyer?). Hi Alan, Actually my direct reference of the change is from the BSD kernel: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/373ffc62c158e52cde86a5b934ab4a51307f9f2e/sys/contrib/v4l/videodev2.h . It is almost the same as Linux headers, though. And the V4L2 by its name is from Linux, so I called it "Linux standard" in the title. Is that OK with the license issue? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
