Which LGPL version is GStreamer licensed under?

[cowwoc]

Hi,

I can see that GStreamer is licensed under LGPL, but it's not clear which version that is. Can someone please clarify?

Thank you,
Gili

Hi Tim,
Does this mean users are free to choose whichever license they prefer, either LGPL 2, LGPL 2.1 or LGPL3?

Answered my question:  the license headers in the source files are clear "LGPL version 2 or (at your option) later versions"

Out of curiosity, do you know why the project team opted to include the details in the header of each file instead of having a License.txt file in the root of the source files? Are there licensing differences in the individual source files that necessitate it?

Yes, we do include code under other compatible license, like BSD code. Copyright is entirely per file. Its likely we have some lgpl 2.1+, making the entire thing 2.1+, I would need to recheck, but it's a minor update.
