* audio: add audio softvol processing to AOwm42017-11-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does what af_volume used to do. Since we couldn't relicense it, just rewrite it. Since we don't have a new filter mechanism yet, and the libavfilter is too inconvenient, do applying the volume gain in ao.c directly. This is done before handling the audio data to the driver. Since push.c runs a separate thread, and pull.c is called asynchronously from the audio driver's thread, the volume value needs to be synchronized. There's no existing central mutex, so do some shit with atomics. Since there's no atomic_float type predefined (which is at least needed when using the legacy wrapper), do some nonsense about reinterpret casting the float value to an int for the purpose of atomic access. Not sure if using memcpy() is undefined behavior, but for now I don't care. The advantage of not using a filter is lower complexity (no filter auto insertion), and lower latency (gain processing is done after our internal audio buffer of at least 200ms). Disavdantages include inability to use native volume control _before_ other filters with custom filter chains, and the need to add new processing for each new sample type. Since this doesn't reuse any of the old GPL code, nor does indirectly rely on it, volume and replaygain handling now works in LGPL mode. How to process the gain is inspired by libavfilter's af_volume (LGPL). In particular, we use exactly the same rounding, and we quantize processing for integer sample types by 256 steps. Some of libavfilter's copyright may or may not apply, but I think not, and it's the same license anyway.
* video: fix rotation and deinterlace auto filterswm42017-11-291-3/+1
| | | | | | | | Now using libavfilter filters directly. The rotation case is a bit lazy, because it uses the slow vf_rotate filter in all cases, instead of using special filters for 90° step rotations.
* vf_sub, vf_format: change license to LGPLwm42017-11-291-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | They were added to the "to deleted" list and never relicensed, because I thought I'd delete them early. But it's possible that they'll stay in mpv for a longer time, so relicense them. Still leaving them as deprecated and scheduled for removal, so they can still be dropped once there is a better way to deal with them, if they get annoying, or if a better mechanism is found that makes them unnecessary. All contributors agreed. There are some minor changes by people who did not agree, but these are all not relevant or have been removed.
* vf: remove most GPL video filterswm42017-11-291-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Almost all of them had their guts removed and replaced by libavfilter long ago, but remove them anyway. They're pointless and have been scheduled for deprecation. Still leave vf_format (because we need it in some form) and vf_sub (not sure). This will break some builtin functionality: lavfi yadif defaults are different, auto rotation and stereo3d downconversion are broken. These might be fixed later.
* vf: add vf_convert as interim replacement for vf_scalewm42017-11-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | We want to drop vf_scale, but we still need a way to auto convert between imgfmts. In particular, vf.c will auto insert the "scale" filter if the VO doesn't support a pixfmt. To avoid chaos, create a new vf_convert.c filter, based on vf_scale.c, but without the unrelicensed code parts. In particular, this filter does not do scaling and has no options. It merely converts from one imgfmt to another, if needed.

* player: change 3 remaining GPL-only code pieces to LGPLwm42017-11-241-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been no new developments or agreements, but I was uncertain about the copyright status of them. Thus this part of code was marked as being potentially GPL, and was not built in LGPL mode. Now I've taken a close look again, and decided that these can be relicensed using the existing relicensing agreements. OSD level 3 was introduced in commit 8d190244, with the author being unreachable. As I decided in commit 6ddd95fd, OSD level 3 itself can be kept, but the "osd" command had to go, and the "rendering" of OSD level 3 (the HAVE_GPL code in osd.c) was uncertain. But the code for this was rewritten: instead of duplicating the time/percent formatting code, it was changed to use common code, and some weird extra logic was removed. The code inside of the "if" is exactly the same as the code that formats the OSD status line (covered by LGPL relicensing). The current commands for adding/removing sub/audio tracks more or less originated from commit 2f376d1b39, with the author being unreachable. But the original code was very different, mostly due to MPlayer's incredibly messy handling of subtitles in general. Nothing of this remains in the current code. Even the command declarations were rewritten. The commands (as seen from the user side) are rather similar in naming and semantics, but we don't consider this copyrightable. So it doesn't look like anything copyrightable is left. The add/cycle commands were more or less based on step_property, introduced in commit 7a71da01d6, with the patch author disagreeing with the LGPL relicensing. But all code original to the patch has been replaced in later mpv changes, and the original code was mostly copied from MP_CMD_SET_PROPERTY anyway. The underlying property interface was completely changed, the error handling was redone, and all of this is very similar to the changes that were done on SET_PROPERTY. The command declarations are completely different in the first place, because the semantic change from step to add/cycle. The commit also seems to have been co-authored by reimar to some degree. He also had the idea to change the original patch from making the command modify a specific property to making it generic. (The error message line, especially with its %g formatting, might contain some level of originality, so change that just to be sure. This commit Copies and adapts the error message for SET_PROPERTY.) Although I'm a bit on the fence with all the above things, it really doesn't look like there's anything substantial that would cause issues. I thus claim that there is no problem with changing the license to LGPL for the above things. It's probably still slightly below the standard that was usually applied in the code relicensing in mpv, but probably still far above to the usual in open source relicensing (and above commercial standards as well, if you look what certain tech giants do).
* ao_alsa: change license to LGPLwm42017-11-231-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Looks like this is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements now. Notes about contributors who could not be reached or who didn't agree: Commit 7fccb6486e has tons of mp_msg changes look like they are not copyrightable (even if they were, all mp_msg calls were rewritten in mpv times again). The additional play() change looks suspicious, but the function was rewritten several times anyway (first time after that commit in 4f40ec312). Commit 89ed1748ae was rewritten in commit 325311af3 and then again several times after that. Basically all this code is unnecessary in modern mpv and has been removed. No code survived from the following commits: 4d31c3c53, 61ecf838f2, d38968bd, 4deb67c3f. At least two cosmetic typo fixes are not considered as well. Commit 22bb046ad is reverted (this wasn't a valid warning anyway, just a C++-ism icc applied to C). Using the constants is nicer, but at least I don't have to decide whether that change was copyrightable.

* Copyright: some more licensing clarificationswm42017-10-131-10/+15
| | | | | | Unfortunately I'm also adding the full text of the LGPL license text, because the GPL one was already present in this repository, and I don't want to imply that the GPL somehow has priority.

* build: make LGPL mode final (via --enable-gpl)wm42017-10-101-33/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename --enable-preliminary-lgpl2 to --enable-gpl. This concludes the relicensing. Some things are still to do (relicensing some still-GPL optional code), but we consider the code included by --enable-gpl to be fully relicensed. The relicensing was performed by asking every known author for permission for relicensing it to LGPL version 2.1 "or later". If an author could not be contacted or permission could not be obtained, and the contribution was considered relevant for copyright purposes, the affected code was either excluded from LGPL mode (not built), or removed or rewritten. This is the standard in open source relicensing processes. Keep in mind that using LGPL mode is still on the user's own risk. Even though I claim that the relicensing was pretty clean and thorough (measured on the standards of the open source community¹), and I followed the advice of some actual experts, there is still a residual uncertainty due to the fact that I'm not an all-knowing entity (authors could have taken someone else's code and pretend it's their own) nor a lawyer (meaning I might lack associated authority or expertise), and the fact that the judicial system is far from deterministic. The relicensing was performed merely to the best of my knowledge. I reject all responsibility outside of that. This commit also cleans up the "Copyright" file to reflect the finalized relicensing process. ¹ Not to imply that the standards of commercial companies are much higher. Some major tech companies get away with stuff I would not consider clean. See #2033.
* build: switch preliminary LGPL mode from v3 to v2.1wm42017-10-051-16/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | iive agreed to relicense things that are still in mpv to LGPLv2.1. So change the licenses of the affected files, and rename the configure switch for LGPL mode to --enable-preliminary-lgpl2. (The "preliminary" part will probably be removed from the configure switch soon as well.) Also player/main.c hasn't had GPL parts since a few commits ago.

* vaapi: change license to LGPLwm42017-09-291-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally mpv vaapi support was based on the MPlayer-vaapi patches. These were never merged in upstream MPlayer. The license headers indicated they were GPL-only. Although the actual author agreed to relicensing, the company employing him to write this code did not, so the original code is unusable to us. Fortunately, vaapi support was refactored and rewritten several times, meaning little code is actually left. The previous commits removed or moved that to GPL-only code. Namely, vo_vaapi.c remains GPL-only. The other code went away or became unnecessary mainly because libavcodec itself gained the ability to manage the hw decoder, and libavutil provides code to manage vaapi surfaces. We also changed to mainly using EGL interop, making any of the old rendering code unnecessary. hwdec_vaglx.c is still GPL. It's possibly relicensable, because much of it was changed, but I'm not too sure and further investigation would be required. Also, this has been disabled by default for a while now, so bothering with this is a waste of time. This commit simply disables it at compile time as well in LGPL mode.
* build: add preliminary LGPL modewm42017-09-211-258/+51
| | | | | | | See "Copyright" file for caveats. This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
* vf_eq: remove this filterwm42017-08-221-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | Both the video equalizer command/option glue, which drives this filter, as well as the filter itself are slightly GPL contaminated. So it goes. After this commit, "--vf=eq" will actually use libavfilter's vf_eq (if FFmpeg was compiled in GPL mode), but it has different options and will not listen to the equalizer VOCTRLs.
* sws_utils: switch back to GPLwm42017-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | Actually contains some code fragments by Michael Niedermayer (command line stuff, video equalizer), thus it can be LGPL only once the formal requirement of mpv's core being LGPL is fulfilled.
* Copyright: the build system is now LGPLwm42017-06-291-1/+1
| | | | | | All relevant authors have agreed. mpv as a whole is still GPL.
* stream_bluray: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | While I'm not particularly attached to this, the history is pretty simple, and all relevant authors have agreed. 2f004875: removed in 2c693a47, patch author was not asked. 1ef239a4: removed, author was not asked.

* demux_raw: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All relevant authors have agreed. I'm removing the NV12 FourCC, which was added in f910f3d9 by someone who was not contacted for the relicensing. I doubt the remaining code is copyrightable (basically all what remains the fact is that NV12 uses the same amount of space like YV12), but in this case I feel more comfortable removing it. Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agrees with LGPL only once the core is relicensed - but with the core already mostly relicensed, I'm changing the license header to LGPL, and only marking this in the "Copyright" file.
* demux_mf, stream_mf: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cehoyos, who did not agree to the relicensing, added bcb5c78ce3. If there was copyright, we consider it gone, because the table changed. It does not map file extension to a FourCC anymore, and codecs.conf is gone. The new mapping is a libavcodec codec name (happens to be the same as the file extension). The same applies to commits 60ecafec, b749836b, 5b3e3be1. None of these authors were contacted. These were before the code was replaced with a table (in d0326807). The parts outside of demux_mf.c were removed a long time ago. Like in the previous comment, we don't think any copyright applies at least to the new code (at least after the FourCC removal). iive authored 0aa37a0d, which is probably still left in some form, and makes demux_mf.c "LGPL 3 or later". stream_avdevice.c (unrelated) has been marked as LGPL before.

* player: change license of most core files to LGPLwm42017-06-231-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved around all the time. player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an actual LGPL configure switch. Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues: 8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous commit. 7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to copyright. f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced with generic OSD mechanisms). 8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under a different name), other code was removed. d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit. 05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken. d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options (with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant for copyright. 09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above. e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq, mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL. 0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit. 43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the change is even copyrightable). 116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit. e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this code was fully removed. f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF, so I claim it's not copyright relevant. 25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function rename, not copyrightable. 5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later. It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first, but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822. cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the following changes: c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author agreed. 40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The "af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch. 54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a German translation, which was removed later. a2dda036: same situation as above 240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit 7b25afd7: same as above (for now) kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor: c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL due to Nick anyway. be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider the original coypright non-relevant. 2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit. 43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit. anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright (such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about this in a previous commit. Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and other core parts still deserve attention: a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822. 0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and "tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other mechanisms. 340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed, with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains (but not its implementation). 92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous commit. Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy refactoring.) I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be excluded that amends to this will be made later. This does not make the player LGPL yet.
* Copyright: small updateswm42017-06-221-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The I binding was removed from input.conf (although it's probably not copyrightable, but still). bootstrap.py has a bunch of authors which probably make the licensing situation a pain - but it's not integral part of the build system or the source code, so it doesn't matter for a LGPL core. I checked and cleaned up the build system in the last few commits. There was the possibility that parts of it were based on actual code of the old "configure" file, in particular with the waftools/fragments/ files (it turned out some were, some even not covered by LGPL agreements). This was checked, so I'm confident only the commit mentioned in the Copyright file holds back proper LGPL licensing of it. (And I guess I have to wait for a reply.) I checked the English translations. There used to be help_mp-en.h (or help_mp.h earlier), which was part of the source code, and which contained most terminal and GUI messages. This was done for the purpose of localization, but all localizations were dropped at one point in mplayer2 development. At this point, the message defines were moved back to the source code. (While in the years before that, they were moved from the source code to the file where applicable.) I didn't check help_mp-en.h when it was merged back. There was the possibility that someone might have changed one of the English messages (i.e. added his copyright to it), which then was copied back to the source code, without accounting for that copyright. Upon checking the history now, it seems this didn't happen for any code that we want to relicense to LGPL (in fact, it happened to some messages in the DVD code only).

* audio/format: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although the origins lie somewhere in libaf, which was written by "anders" and who explicitly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing, we can change the license of these files, because all code was written by "alex", who agreed with the relicensing. The only things that remain from anders' code is the AF_FORMAT_ and af_ prefixes (see e.g. 66f4e563). It was alex who redid this file and added the format identifiers we have today (507121f7). It's also nice to see that alex actually claimed copyright on format.c (221a599f). In commit efb50cab even the bitmask concept (which anders introduced with his early af_format.c code) was removed, and essentially all lines and symbols by anders were dropped. To put it into perspective: the original af_format code was for converting actual sample data and relied on OSS sample format identifiers, mpv's format.c/h provides its own sample formats, but does not do any data conversion. Remove an now inaccurate comment from format.c (it somehow even survived the typo that was present in the original commit). Also remove most of the format.c include statements - most of them are technically anders' code. We keep limits.h though.
* demux: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As usual, the history of these files is a bit murky. It starts with the initial commit. (At which some development had already been done, according to the AUTHORS and ChangeLog files at the time, we should be but covered with relicensing agreements, though.) then it goes on with complete lack of modularization, which was cleaned up later (cd68e161). As usual, we don't consider the copyright of the stuff that has been moved out cleanly. There were also contributions to generic code by people who could not be reached or who did not agree to the relicensing, but this was all removed. The only patches that we could not relicense and which were still in the current code in some form are from Dénes Balatoni: 422b0d2a, 32937181. We could not reach him, so commits f34e1a0d and 18905298 remove his additions. It still leaves the demux_control() declaration itself, but we don't consider it copyrightable. It's basically an idiom that existed in MPlayer before that change, applied to the demuxer struct. (We even went as far as making sure to remove all DEMUXER_CTRLs the original author added.) Commit be54f481 might be a bit of a corner case, but this was rewritten, and we consider the old copyright removed long ago.
* external_files: change license to LGPLwm42017-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we could easily ifdef-out this file for a LGPL core, it's still annoying, and also the only GPL file remaining in player/ that is not based on mplayer.c. This file originates from subreader.c. It's not clear whether the original author of it gave us permission to relicense to LGPL (he probably did, but without further clarification it's sort of ambiguous), but the subtitle file search code was written by other authors anyway (see 7eef93819f9d). One contribution (574eb892ea) is a bit of a corner case, as test_ext_list() now does a bstrcasecmp(). But I don't think the copyright remains here. (I asked the author anyway, just in case. But I didn't wait for the answer.) In some other cases, contributors who could not be reached added some subtitle extensions. I don't think those are copyrightable on their own, but I dropped them anyway just to be sure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cehoyos adds the step_property command in 7a71da01d, and it could be argued that copyright of this still applies to the later add/cycle commands (a668ae0ff90c4). While I'm not sure if this is really the case, stay conservative for now and mark these commands as GPL-only. Mark the command.c code too, although that is not being relicensed yet. I'm leaving the MP_CMD_* enum items, as they are obviously different. In commit 116ca0c7
