That is not entirely true... You see, they link the webkit plugin statically with Qt code (LGPL), which demands that whatever the resulting code is, is GPL or LGPL. So, if they release a binary that includes a libmedia_plugin_gstreamer.so, which is linked statically with pure LGPL-ed code, then they are legally oblidged to provide the source code of libmedia_plugin_gstreamer.so. Now if LL decides to JUST provide the sources of that plugin lib, or just put the whole mesh repository that was used to compile it on the net, is entirely up to them, of course. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
