Oops... Kinda got late in to the conversation... Anyway, here's what's needs to be done. 1. Default binary build of Haiku let it include GPL licensed products. Reason: Home users don't give a shit, my guess is that most users of Haiku are home users. 2. If a home user want to create a Comercial product, then ensure that when ever media-kit is added to the header file raise a preprocessor #warning during compilation, "Using GPL Code with Media-Kit, This will make your product GPL. If the warning needs to be removed, recompile Haiku without --include-gpl-options or -DINCLUDE_GPL_OPTIONS". 3. For allowing companies to use it: Create a Text file called Resell_Redistribute_Haiku.txt (also it would be wise to put it on the website) and mention in that, Haiku must be recompiled with out --include-gpl-addons option or -DINCLUDE_GPL_OPTIONS. And, when compiled without this option state which are the packages that will be disabled because of GPL. This would warn the Resellers or Redistributers of potential problems beforehand. You may not be able to avoid GPL completely, but a heads up would definitely make a lot of difference. -Regards, Anoop On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 4:32 AM, Urias McCullough<umccullough@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 3:56 PM, Anoop Kumar > Narayanan<anoop.kn@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> FYI: FFMpeg is Dual Licensed under GPL and LGPL. > > Not the portions we removed, apparently. > > - Urias > >
