I was under the impression that ffmpeg itself *is* LGPL licenced, along with all the codecs that we have enabled - and only the GPL code is disabled Has something fundamentally changed? Cian [1] https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports/src/master/media-video/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.10.2.recipe?at=master#cl-96 You know what would make more sense, email the ffmpeg developers and ask them to reliscence to a BSD or MIT type liscence, this way ,this kind of stupidity can be avoided for all projects in the future.
