biennesoft <[email protected]> added the comment: Hello. This is Biennesoft. I am sorry if I did anything wrong and hope to fix it.
I am updating the version of FFmpeg in my YouTube Downloader and found this bug. I want to do the right thing and I hope you can help me fix this bug. I have put a link to FFmpeg.org and the FFmpeg source code for my version on my web site today: http://youtubedownload.altervista.org I read http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html and the LGPL, GPL, and FAQs. I am using GPL since I do not sell my program, do not link to the library, and only run the static link ffmpeg.exe from my program. I hope I am doing this right. If I do these changes will this close this bug? I ask because I use GPL and the legal.html only talks about LGPL. 1) Program "About" box "YouTube Downloader uses FFmpeg version SVN-r$Version from the <a href="http://ffmpeg.org";>FFmpeg project</a> under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html";>GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2)</a>. FFmpeg source code for this version is available at http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/src/ffmpeg-r$Version.zip"; Do I need to include the text of GPLv2 here or is the link enough? 2) web site 2a) Add to pages with download buttons - http://youtubedownload.altervista.org - http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/download.htm "YouTube Downloader uses code of <a href=http://ffmpeg.org>FFmpeg</a> licensed under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html";>GPLv2.0</a> and its source can be downloaded <a href="http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/src/ffmpeg-r$Version.zip";>here</a>." 2b) Create ffmpeg-r$Version.zip of source using directions on your legal.html page 3) YouTube Downloader installer 3a) Change FFmpeg part of license displayed in installer to say "This software uses FFmpeg version SVN-r$VerNum, Copyright © 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developers. The FFmpeg project can be found at http://ffmpeg.org. FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2) and its source can be downloaded from http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/src/ffmpeg-r$VerNum.zip."; 3b) Add text of GPL v2 License to license text displayed in installer 3c) Change in license text "All copyrights are exclusively owned by the authors." to "All copyrights for FFmpeg and flv player are exclusively owned by their authors. All copyrights for YouTube Downloader are exclusively owned by Biennesoft. Biennesoft does not claim any ownership of FFmpeg or flv player." 3d) Add COPYING.GPLv2 file with GPL text installed in YouTube Downloader application directory 3e) Add LICENSE.txt file installed in YouTube Downloader application directory with: "FFmpeg: ------ This software uses FFmpeg version SVN-r$VerNum, Copyright © 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developers. The FFmpeg project can be found at http://ffmpeg.org. FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2) and its source can be downloaded from http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/src/ffmpeg-r$VerNum.zip. Read the COPYING.GPLv2 file for details." ========== I hope this will fix this problem. Please tell me if I need to change something. Also, is there a FFmpeg logo I can include on my web page or in my About box? I love FFmpeg and am happy to help make it better known.
