No that is false. You may sell your software, but you may need to release your source code. See below. > 2. Can I receive donations or ask for donations ? Yes. > 3. I need to distribute my source code program ? That depends. If you use any GPL portions of FFMPEG (e.g. swscale) in your program, then you need to distribute your source code (although you can still charge for your product). If you only use LGPL portions of FFMPEG (everything but swscale) then you do not need to distribute your source code, but you do need to distribute any changes you make to the FFMPEG source for your version of FFMPEG (compiled into the FFMPEG libav libraries). > 4.

If you are concerned, consult a patent attorney or solicitor. Hope that helps. - Art -- http://www.xuggle.com/ xu‧ggle (zŭ' gl) v. To freely encode, decode, and experience audio and video.
