[xine-devel] Use of Xine code

[Christian F. K. S. <ur...@gn...>]

Hi Xine developers,
My name is Christian Schaller and I am with the GStreamer project
(http://www.gstreamer.net).  We are in the process of adding new plugins
to GStreamer in order to handle more media types. Most of the best
available code for this is currently in Xine which leads us to want to
base many of these plugins on Xine code. However GStreamer is licensed
under the LGPL and due to that we would prefer as many as possible of
our plugins to use that license too. Due to this I wonder if you people
would be kind enough to let us use your code as part of LGPL plugins as
opposed to GPL plugins?

I know that much of your code has originated from other projects in turn
so I would need permission from them too, but I thought I start with you
guys. 

Sincerely,
Christian

btw. Xine rocks, even if I am working on GStreamer I still use Xine for
a lot of my own media playback due to its superior media support atm.
