Google would treat that as a trade mark violation: When creating a 
feature or product utilizing the YouTube API, the name of the feature or 
product cannot use YouTube in the name of the software or feature 
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/branding.html.  (Also the authors 
don't want to restrict themselves to YouTube.)


One other legal issue. I think I would want to take legal advice, or at 
least consult the Free Software Foundation, with regard to the use of 
the GPL, as its not clear to me that the Flash and YouTube APIs are 
sufficiently at arm's length to use the GPL.  In particular, unless it 
is legal to implement a library that can substitute for the one that 
normally provides that API, and still use the same API (albeit not with 
the YouTube service), I would very much doubt that you can use the GPL.


IANAL.  The only advice is to get proper advice.

Re: Pidgin Video 1.0

2009-09-12 Thread Stefan Istrate
Thank you for your suggestions.

We have decided to call it Pidgin Embedded Video. We hope there won't be any
confusion now. The project is moved at this page:
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-embeddedvideo/.

We put it also on the Third Party Plugins in the Miscellaneous category.

Regards,
Stefan

  We are writing on this mailing list also because we would like our plugin
 to
  appear on the ThirdPartyPlugins page on the Pidgin site.

 The ThirdPartyPlugins page is part of our wiki - anyone is free to modify
 it.

 Regards,


 Stu.
