This is a safeguard for making potential relicensing of +remaining GPL code to LGPLv2.1+ easier. -Note that mplayer2 as a whole is licensed under GPLv3+. This is because it uses -a copy of talloc (part of Samba), which is LGPLv3+, and the next compatible -license for this mix is GPLv3+. +See DOCS/contribute.md for binding rules wrt. licensing for contributions. -MPlayer as a whole is licensed under GPLv2 (incompatible to GPLv3!), because -some files are licensed to GPLv2 (and _not_ any later version of the license). -In particular, this affects the file libmpdemux/demux_ty_osd.c. It is disabled -under mplayer2, and has been removed from mpv. +For information about authors and contributors, consult the git log, which +contains the complete SVN and CVS history as well. "v2.1+" in this context means "version 2.1 or later". Some libraries are GPLv2+ or GPLv3+ only. Building mpv with Samba support makes it GPLv3+. -Source files with specific licenses: -- etc/input.conf is LGPLv2.1+ -- etc/builtin.conf is LGPLv2.1+ -- etc/encoding-profiles.conf is LGPLv2.1+ -- all mpv icons and derived files are LGPLv2.1+ (mpv-icon-8bit-16x16.png etc.) -- everything else under etc/ is unknown -- everything under DOCS/man/ is GPLv2+ -- sub/osd_font.otf is LGPLv2.1+ -- version.sh is LGPLv2+ -- bootstrap.py is unknown (probably GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+) -- wscript: GPLv2+ (due to 98fca3531841221b) +mpv can be built as LGPLv2.1+ with the -Dgpl=false configure option. To add a +LGPL mode to mpv, MPlayer code had to be relicensed from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+ by +asking the MPlayer authors for permission. Since permission could not be +obtained from everyone, LGPL mode disables the following features, some of them +quite central: +- Linux X11 video output +- BSD audio output via OSS +- NVIDIA/Linux hardware decoding (vdpau, although nvdec usually works) +- Linux TV input +- minor features: jack, DVD, CDDA, SMB, CACA, legacy direct3d VO +Some of these will be fixed in the future. The intended use for LGPL mode is +with libmpv, and currently it's not recommended to build mpv CLI in LGPL mode +at all. -Some files are marked with "Almost LGPL." These files are GPL, but all authors -have agreed to relicense them to LGPL. the problem is that one of the authors is -Michael Niedermayer, who cited the following conditions for relicensing: +The following files are still GPL only (-Dgpl=false disables them): - http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2016-September/073535.html - -We assume the first 3 conditions are fulfilled. The last condition can be -interpreted as that his code can be changed to LGPL only as soon as the "core" -of mpv changes to LGPL. We interpret "core" as something minimal, that can -actually be built and run, with all GPL code disabled. - -Some files are LGPLv3+. This is due to the contributions of a single developer -going by the SVN username "iive". The chosen license of this project is -LGPLv2.1+. The affected files will be changed to LGPLv2.1+ at the earliest -opportunity, for example if his contributions disappear by being replaced -or removed. All new contributions to these files are implied to be LGPLv2.1+. - -LGPL relicensing status.
