Non-free originally came to be because of fdk-aac, which is open source but doesn't meet the requirements of the (L)GPL. Some have taken this to mean that we should include wrappers for proprietary codecs, which has also been done (arguably by mistake) for things like NDI. This has led to much friction.. I think we should try and talk to FreeSwitch and/or Polycom and see if we can get them to relicense to something suitable. If Polycom are worried about competitors, perhaps they would agree to dual license under the AGPL? /Tomas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
