The mpv program is licensed the GNU Lesser General Public +License LGPL version 2 or later (LGPLv2.1+ in this document, see LICENSE.LGPL +for full license text) if built without using any GPL only files. +The -Dgpl=false configure switch is provided as a convenience for excluding +the GPL only files listed below from the build process. + +However, do note that the build system is provided "as is" and using the +-Dgpl=false configure switch does not in itself create a LGPLv2.1+ license +grant. + +Additionally, some non-program parts, such as the documentation and some config +files listed below, are still built and licensed under their respective licenses +even when -Dgpl=false is used. Please consult GPLv2+ and LGPLv2.1+ license texts +for further details on how to distribute these files. + +Most source files are LGPLv2.1+ or GPLv2+, but some files are available under +more liberal licenses, such as BSD, MIT, ISC, and possibly others. Look at the +copyright header of each source file, and grep the sources for "Copyright" if +you need to know details. C source files without Copyright notice are usually +licensed as LGPLv2.1+. Also see the list of files with specific licenses below +(not all files can have a standard license header). + +All new contributions must be LGPLv2.1+ licensed. Using a more liberal license +compatible to LGPLv2.1+ is also ok. + +Changes done to GPL code must come with the implicit/explicit agreement that the +project can relicense the changes to LGPLv2.1+ at a later point without asking +the contributor. This is a safeguard for making potential relicensing of +remaining GPL code to LGPLv2.1+ easier. + +See DOCS/contribute.md for binding rules wrt. licensing for contributions. + +For information about authors and contributors, consult the git log, which +contains the complete SVN and CVS history as well. + +mpv can be built as LGPLv2.1+ without using any GPL only files. To add a +LGPL mode to mpv, MPlayer code had to be relicensed from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+ by +asking the MPlayer authors for permission. Since permission could not be +obtained from everyone, LGPL mode disables the following features, some of them +quite central: +- Linux X11 video output +- BSD audio output via OSS +- NVIDIA/Linux hardware decoding (vdpau, although nvdec usually works) +- minor features: jack, DVD, CDDA, DVB, CACA, legacy direct3d VO +Some of these will be fixed in the future. The intended use for LGPL mode is +with libmpv, and currently it's not recommended to build mpv CLI in LGPL mode +at all. + +The following files are still GPL only (-Dgpl=false disables them): + + audio/out/ao_jack.c will stay GPL + audio/out/ao_oss.c will stay GPL + stream/dvb* must stay GPL + stream/stream_cdda.c unknown + stream/stream_dvb.* must stay GPL + stream/stream_dvdnav.c unknown + video/out/vo_caca.c unknown + video/out/vo_direct3d.c unknown + video/out/vo_vaapi.c probably impossible (some company's code) + video/out/vo_vdpau.c probably impossible (nVidia's code) + video/out/vo_x11.c probably impossible + video/out/vo_xv.c probably impossible + video/out/x11_common.* probably impossible + video/vdpau.c hard (GPL-only parts must be ifdefed) + video/vdpau.h unknown + video/vdpau_mixer.* actual code must be rewritten + DOCS/man/ GPLv2+ + etc/mplayer-input.conf unknown license, probably GPLv2+ + etc/mpv.desktop unknown license, probably GPLv2+ + etc/restore-old-bindings.conf unknown license, probably GPLv2+ + +None of the cases listed above affect the final binary if it's built as +LGPL. Linked libraries still can affect the final license (for example if +FFmpeg was built as GPL). -- cgit v1.2.3
