GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315194
Licence information inconsistency of gst-plugins-good/gst/rtp
Last modified: 2005-11-11 16:38:14 UTC
The rtp module defined in gst-plugins-good/gst/rtp/gstrtp.c is GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE()d with the GPL licence, although all *.[hc] files have the Library GPL licence header.
As I understand it, the license in GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE is the effective run-time license of the plugin and doesn't necessarily have to match the license of the code. For another example see the 'mad' plugin where libmad is GPL, but the GStreamer mad plugin itself is LGPL (which results in a run-time license of GPL). (Note that I haven't actually checked what libraries, if any, that plugin links to, I'm just talking about the general case) Cheers -Tim
This is fixed now, and says LGPL
