aacparse and amrparse license in gst-plugin-bad

[Liang Zhao]

Hi,

Could someone help me on aacparse and amrparse license in gst-plugin-bad? I want to integrate these 2 elements into our product, but I don't know whether the LGPL is the license issue?

I find in maemo5 SDK ARMEL binary, they are integrated into it, and marked as LGPL, does that mean I can use it freely and safely on law?
I also find no mp3parse and asfdemux in it, does that mean it is have issues on the LGPL license? or I need to re-implement it with proprietary license.

Thanks

--
BRs.

You find the lices stated in the plugin and also at thye top of the
source files. It is up to you to decide wheter LGPL is fine for you or not.

gst-plugin-bad can have both license and/or quality issues. Anyway if you want
to use those plugins in a commerical product review the code with IPR/Legal
persons - it is not only the license that matters.
