| Disclaimer: The GStreamer team makes a real effort to make sure that |
| the information in this file is as up-to-date and accurate as possible. |
| However, this file may contain errors and omissions. Some dependant |
| libraries change their licensing from version-to-version and some of |
| the libraries listed here as LGPL were under the GPL license in |
| older releases. Distributions which include GStreamer are responsible |
| for ensuring that plugins are used in accordance with licensing terms |
| and other laws. |
| |
| GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for details). |
| Some of our plugins however rely on libraries which are available under other |
| licenses. This means that if you are using an application which has a non-GPL |
| compatible license, for instance a closed-source application with GStreamer |
| you have to make sure not to use GPL linked or derived plugins. When using |
| GPL linked plugins GStreamer is for all practical reasons under the GPL itself. |
| |

| faad's license depends on its major version : |

| - for FAAD2 : it is GPL |
| look at these pages for more information on licenses : |
| http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAD2 |
| http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAC |
| |
| by default, GStreamer faad plugin would compile against FAAD2 if available. |
| it falls back to FAAD1 if not. |
