Hi Arne,
Thanks a lot for your input,
Do you think it will be diffucult to port unicap to Wndows to develeop
VfW and DirectShow backends?
There is one issue that I forgot with a DirectShow plugin:
Since you would need to link the plugin with a closed source library (
DirectShow ), you can not distribute it ( at least not in binary ) since
unicap is GPLed. ( Just like openwengo ).
In this case I would need to make a license addition ( or rather
exception ) to explicitly allow the linkage of this plugin. If I make
this exception ( and I see no point why not to make such an exception ),
you ( or the openwengo team ) would also need to make such an exception
to your licensing terms, otherwise distributions would not be legally
allowed to ship openwengo in binary ( at least the windows build would
then have questionable licensing conditions ). The complicated thing is
that I think every code contributor needs to accept these modified
license terms.
Since you have a windows build and use ( I guess ) DirectShow, you
should already be in such a licensing situation. How is it handled by
the current openwengo license?
Boy, I hate licensing issues :-(
