Sorry but now I double check it and I have said the wrong thing for you. The vpuwrap is indeed FSL proprietary code; to avoid any complications I'd say you to add a header file, and a counterpart .c file, on top of it to 'hide' its issues and avoid any license complication to your code. Sorry but I have read your message as the vpuwrap was LGPL, so my misunderstanding. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
