Hi Mike,
I did not read it because on FFMPEG website it sounded like there were
a lot of things to pay attention to and I did not want to deal with
them if were to miss something in their license compliance list.
Especially, in FAQ it says:
*Q: Is it perfectly alright to incorporate the whole FFmpeg core into
my own commercial product?*
A: You might have a problem here. There have been cases where
companies have used FFmpeg in their products. These companies found
out that once you start trying to make money from patented
technologies, the owners of the patents will come after their
licensing fees. Notably, MPEG LA is vigilant and diligent about
collecting for MPEG-related technologies.
What do you think about that?
Mert.
I'm not your lawyer. But I hope you understand that patents are a
completely separate issue from copyright (e.g. GPL/LGPL), which was the
topic of your original post.
