The problem with a license like the AGPL is that its inherently incompatible with anything else. Heck, you couldn't even build a non-free build with AGPL components, because non-free only governs distribution of the binary, but AGPL has extra conditions for things like being reachable over the network. Its a nightmare to combine with anything else. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
