Ronald S. Bultje <[email protected]> added the comment: Diego asked me to convey one more issue:
Your about dialog text is - by my reading of the LGPL - not sufficient (although not too bad). I'd prefer if the about dialog actually carried something along the line of "... FFmpeg [a great video library] - licensed under the LGPLv2.1", where LGPLv2.1 is a link to the full text as provided in the installer target directory. This is covered in section 6 of LGPLv2.1: "You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: [..]" I'd prefer if FFmpeg were also a link to our website, but that's not an absolute requirement specified in the LGPLv2.1 so I won't enfore that. I noticed there's a link in the current about dialog but as said, I don't know what it points to because it doesn't work (for me). ____________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue272> ____________________________________________________
