Andy Vuong commented on GUACAMOLE-1155:
---------------------------------------

I am not well versed in software legal issues and would like a better 
understanding.

A proposed {{guacamole/guacenc}} docker image distributed to Docker Hub that 
mimics the current {{guacamole/guacd}} implementation would contain:
 # The {{debian:stable-slim}} base image software
 # The {{guacenc}} external runtime dependencies, to include FFmpeg’s shared 
libraries ({{libav*}}) which are
 ## Installed by {{apt-get install …}}
 ## Built, packaged and distributed by Debian 
([https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ffmpeg])
 # The {{guacenc}} executable which dynamically links to the FFmpeg shared 
libraries

FFmpeg legal considerations ([http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html]) appear to involve 
these general topics:
 # License compliance (LGPLv2.1, GPLv2+)
 # Trademark
 # Patented algorithms

Is the core concern related to the distribution of library that may contain 
patented algorithms? Is it the distribution of libraries that may be covered by 
LGPL/GPL? Is it Apache license compatibility? All of the above? None of the 
above?

Can the Apache Software Foundation provide legal guidance?

> I'm not sure if the project's preferred approach would be to :
>  # Include guacenc in the guacamole/guacd image, OR
>  # Create a standalone guacamole/guacenc image.
