Hi
I have a doubt about the ffmpeg license that hopefully someone can clarify. I understand the the ffmpeg license is LGPL. And I also understand that the LGPL license allows dynamic linking with any library/software (proprietary or not) "" When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. """ https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html Then, why is that "--enable-nonfree" makes ffmpeg unredistributable? I understand than meanwhile the linking of ffmpeg with the non-free libraries is dynamic there shouldn't be any problems distributing it? Where is the trap? What I'm missing? Thanks!
