--- Comment #2 from Luke McKee <hojur...@gmail.com> ---
I'm hoping AMD will get around to releasing their changes to LGPL licensed
gstreamer-plugins-omx / libomxil-bellago
It's mesa/Gallium that has the BSD/MIT license and all the code for
libomix-belagio h265 support is already in the MESA source referred to in bug
description.
https://www.mesa3d.org/license.html
To say gstreamer-plugins-omx and libomixl-bellagio is not gpl like you said on
IRC would be incorrect.
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-omx/blob/master/COPYING
https://sourceforge.net/p/omxil/omxil/ci/master/tree/COPYING
Now if I was stickler for making this a GPL request I'd be looking at the
bundled gst-plugins-omx binary in to see if it has h265 support (though not
enabled by default). But it makes you wonder why they package it?
https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx
Seeing AMD is moving to tizonia in the last 3 months, that too lacks h265
support, so it has to be a custom interface to use h265.
So consider this a GPL request for the source for AMD's build of
gstreamer-plugins-omx for the binaries the release. Finger's crossed the source
shows their patches :)

"Complete corresponding source code of the library used with the application or
the device built using LGPL, including all modifications to the library, should
be delivered with the application (or alternatively provide a written offer
with instructions on how to get the source code). It should be noted that the
complete corresponding source code has to be delivered even if the library has
not been modified at all."
Sorry Daniel but you are just plain wrong.
