Hi everone,
I want to announce the licence change from GPL to LGPL for some
modules of the Kaa Media Repository.
What is Kaa Media Repository?
The Kaa Media Repository is a repository of more or less independed
Python modules that have something to do with media in general. It is
the base for Freevo 2.0, maybe MeBox (similar to Freevo) and possible
smaller helper applications. If you want to write a media player in
Python, an EPG browser and a Media Library Browser, kaa is the place
where you should start looking.
What is LGPL, what stays GPL?
I tried to make as much as possible LGPL. Not everything can be made
LGPL because of GPL dependencies or because some parts are copied from
GPL projects.
kaa.base LGPL, every kaa module depends on it
kaa.beacon Server is GPL, client API LGPL
kaa.canvas LGPL (will be replaced by kaa.candy and also LGPL)
kaa.cherrypy LGPL
kaa.display LGPL
kaa.epg LGPL
kaa.evas LGPL
kaa.imlib2 LGPL
kaa.metadata GPL (mmpython, depends on GPL code)
kaa.mevas GPL (could be LGPL, but kaa.mevas is deprecated)
kaa.popcorn GPL (maybe generic API LGPL and some backends GPL)
kaa.record GPL (has xine and VDR code in it)
kaa.xine GPL (libxine is GPL)
There is code from me now in LGPL modules.
That should not happen. My goal was to ask all people writing code for
the modules before making the change. But some parts are copied from
Freevo and maybe I missed an author. If that has happen, please send
me a mail and tell me either that you agree to the LGPL change and I
add you to the AUTHORS file or if you don't agree, tell me what your
code is and I will remove it.
