The issue of x264 was discussed extensively on the OpenH323 list recently. See http://www.openh323.org/pipermail/openh323/Week-of-Mon-20051121/075684.html > Btw why is opal/openh32 MPL?

No amount of GPL propaganda will change that. ..deleted > > > > x264 should add an exception clause for OpenH323/OPAL in their license. You need to talk to the x264 project about that, but reports from other users are that they are not even interested in converting from GPL to LGPL - I can't see them adding an exception for OpenH323. But don't let me stop you from asking them :) Craig ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Southeren Post Increment VoIP Consulting and Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.postincrement.com.au Phone: +61 243654666 ICQ: #86852844 Fax: +61 243673140 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: +61 417231046 "It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
