It should be done on a per-plugin basis. This is specifically useful for support libs, where the license can't be set right now. This obviously requires API changes. + +------- Additional Comments From ds...@sc... 2003-06-17 14:53 ------- +We need to have a discussion some time (say, at Guadec right now) +about licensing issues. My concerns: + + 1. All code in gstreamer/ and gst-plugins/ should be LGPL, except +possibly code in gst-plugins/gst-libs/ext. There's no need for plugin +code to match the license of the library, unless there has been copied +code. If there is copied code (which plugins?), perhaps we should +separate that into a subdirectory or re-libify it. + + 2. We should check very carefully if there is code that is not GPL +compatible. + + 3. The plugin (or element) license field should be clarified that it +applies to the combination of the plugin plus the underlying library, +and _NOT_ the plugin itself. + |
