what the resulting license is, or those from other binaries.
I know that at least some people stay away because of the GPL
instead of the LGPL.
Could you please clarify the license as they apply to the
binaries? And if the GPL applies to the library, could you
please ask for a change in license so that everything is
LGPL?
the libv4l libraries (libv4l1, libv4l2, and libv4lconvert are all
covered by LGPL-2.1+). libv4lconvert utilizes two GPL helper binaries to
decode ancient OV51* picture formats. We tried to contact the original
author of this code but got no response.
I will write a paragraph about the licensing of the components on top of
the copyright file.
Thanks,
Gregor
