Description Vincent Untz 2012-03-01 16:33:32 UTC 
Those files have a GPL-3.0+ header:

sys/vdpau/gstvdp/gstvdpoutputbufferpool.c
sys/vdpau/gstvdp/gstvdpoutputbufferpool.h
sys/vdpau/gstvdp/gstvdpvideobufferpool.c
sys/vdpau/gstvdp/gstvdpvideobufferpool.h

Given the licensing of gstreamer, this is a bit surprising. Is this a mistake, or is this really the license of the files (and hence of this plugin)?
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-03-01 16:52:23 UTC 
It's not what we desire, no.
Comment 2 Carl-Anton Ingmarsson 2012-03-01 17:56:37 UTC 
Hmm, it's a mistake from my part. Feel free to change the headers to LGPL-2.0+.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-03-01 18:02:03 UTC 
That's great, thanks!
