Hey Guys,

I'm going to be the Gygan contact for this issue.

My main developer is on vacation, but he's back this week.  I'm going to 
sit down with him and go over everything.

I found the FFmpeg license compliance list at 
http://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html and we're going to work towards 
compliance.

I'll post back in a couple of days.

Please feel free to write them a message that you suspect them to violate the
GPL and that this report here exists.
If they react, we would be glad to hear about it.

Title: Software license violations in Gygan
Body:

Hello,

It appears as though the software you are offering at 
http://www.gygan.com/, Gygan, is installed with and uses great amounts 
of code from other 3rd-party projects which make their source available 
under licenses like the GPL (General Public License) and LGPL (Lesser 
General Public License).
However, you are in certain violation of those licenses by not complying 
with their terms.

You can find the specific terms of each software project on their 
websites, but of the dozens of DLL files you include, a great many 
appear to be under at least an LGPL license, which requires (in English, 
again, see license terms for exact requirements) attribution, inclusion 
of the source code for those parts of your package (or clear offer to 
provide such), and inclusion of the license terms.
Other DLLs appear to be compiled from GPL source, which also would 
require that since you are using those parts to create a new whole -- 
the Gygan software -- Gygan must also license under the GPL (or cease 
use of GPL code).

In the hope that this is a mistake, this email is being sent.
This issue is being tracked and monitored at 
https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2458 as the FFmpeg project is one of the 
main ones whom you have slighted, and you are very welcome to create an 
account there and discuss solutions for this conflict.
FFmpeg also lists continuing violators in the Hall of Shame at 
http://www.ffmpeg.org/shame.html , and you should be aware that this is 
a copyright violation the same as would be if it was a violation of any 
traditional EULA -- the copyright holders could pursue the matter 
legally, if they chose.

Here's hoping for a quick resolution that benefits all parties,
  Devin Cofer
