the libv4l libraries (libv4l1, libv4l2, and libv4lconvert are all covered by LGPL-2.1+). libv4lconvert utilizes two GPL helper binaries to decode ancient OV51* picture formats. We tried to contact the original author of this code but got no response. I will write a paragraph about the licensing of the components on top of the copyright file.
