New submission from Aaron <[email protected]>: I noticed Valve's steam app. uses a bunch of open source projects including FFmpeg. Besides a file "ThirdPartyLegalNotices.doc" under program files\steam with the only reference to FFmpeg being -
"For FFMPeg, part of Chromium, part of CEF: Most files in FFmpeg are under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or later (LGPL v2.1+). Read the file COPYING.LGPL for details. Some other files have a MIT/X11/BSD-style license. In combination the LGPL v2.1+ applies to FFmpeg." There are no further credits to FFmpeg and no mention of usage accessible from the main application (that I could find). I also cannot find any links or files from within the app. or website to download the L/GPL sources. The app. link is :- http://cdn.steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi or http://store.steampowered.com/about/ The distribution I installed contains FFMPEG libraries in the locations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\avutil-50.dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\avcodec-52.dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\avformat-52.dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\avutil-50.dll ---------- messages: 13873 priority: normal status: new substatus: new title: Potential License violation - Valve's Steam ______________________________________________ Libav issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.libav.org/issue2665> ______________________________________________
