Hello,
We are trying to redistribute a ffmpeg binary commercially. We use free version
for generally decoding video only(some demuxing). We want to use nvidia's
suggestion of using the GPU with ffmpeg. They give a sample configure string
like so:
./configure --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvdec --enable-nvenc
--enable-nonfree --enable-libnpp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/cuda/include
--extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib64
In here we notice --enable-nonfree which basically means we can't give ffmpeg
commerically right? Well looking into this legal wise... If we get NVidia's written
consent that a lawyer can use in a court of law, alter configure script to say libnpp is
not considered "non-free" and ditch that string would it be okay?
NVidia seems to advocate for FFmpeg use. If its not permissible, then would it
make sense to just use opencv's implementation of ffmpeg which then advertises
a completely different license(Apache).
Looking for serious answers with out sarcasm, insults, or claims of simplicity.
Just don't use libnpp
