Hi; libmlt is overall licensed under LPGL-2.1+ and GPL-2.0+ but one file in the distribution which is src/modules/qimage/transition_vqm.cpp is licensed under GPL-3.0+ this makes the whole distribution GPL-3.0+ if this module is included. Is this intended or an oversight? P.S: Asking this with my openSUSE packager hat on so I can fix the license in rpm spec accordingly. Regards, ismail |

I checked upon the reason, and it is due to code reuse from http://qpsnr.youlink.org/ I can add a configure flag to upgrade the license to GPLv3 like FFmpeg does in order to enable. Should that take care of the issue? > P.S: Asking this with my openSUSE packager hat on so I can fix the license > in rpm spec accordingly. > > Regards, > ismail > |

Should that take care of the issue? Thats OK but adding a COPYING.GPLv3 file would be good too :) Regards, ismail |
