Comment (by yepher):
So when is the FFmpeg legal team (aka authors?) going to go after Apple
for all those applications that are currently using the Library without
adhering to the terms? ;)
@Reimar,
So if I understand, what you are saying above is:
FFMpeg legal would not attempt to prosecute an entity that sells "closed
source application that contains FFMPeg statically linked" if:
1. The entity offers the source of the FFmpeg version they used.
2. Address LGPLv2 "6C" by providing a written offer to provide the source
code of FFMPeg used for the application. (this presumably also clears
Apple?)
3. ensure FFMPeg was built as LGPL and not GPL
Did I understand you properly?
Thank you for your patience on this issue.
