-#FFmpeg:
-
-Most files in FFmpeg are under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
-or later (LGPL v2.1+). Read the file `COPYING.LGPLv2.1` for details. Some other
-files have MIT/X11/BSD-style licenses. In combination the LGPL v2.1+ applies to
-FFmpeg.
-
-Some optional parts of FFmpeg are licensed under the GNU General Public License
-version 2 or later (GPL v2+). See the file `COPYING.GPLv2` for details. None of
-these parts are used by default, you have to explicitly pass `--enable-gpl` to
-configure to activate them. In this case, FFmpeg's license changes to GPL v2+.
-
-Specifically, the GPL parts of FFmpeg are:
-
-- libpostproc
-- optional x86 optimizations in the files
- - `libavcodec/x86/flac_dsp_gpl.asm`
- - `libavcodec/x86/idct_mmx.c`
- - `libavfilter/x86/vf_removegrain.asm`
-- libutvideo encoding/decoding wrappers in
- `libavcodec/libutvideo*.cpp`
-- the X11 grabber in `libavdevice/x11grab.c`
-- the swresample test app in
- `libswresample/swresample-test.c`
-- the `texi2pod.pl` tool
-- the following filters in libavfilter:
- - `f_ebur128.c`
- - `vf_blackframe.c`
- - `vf_boxblur.c`
- - `vf_colormatrix.c`
- - `vf_cover_rect.c`
- - `vf_cropdetect.c`
- - `vf_delogo.c`
- - `vf_eq.c`
- - `vf_find_rect.c`
- - `vf_fspp.c`
- - `vf_geq.c`
- - `vf_histeq.c`
- - `vf_hqdn3d.c`
- - `vf_interlace.c`
- - `vf_kerndeint.c`
- - `vf_mcdeint.c`
- - `vf_mpdecimate.c`
- - `vf_owdenoise.c`
- - `vf_perspective.c`
- - `vf_phase.c`
- - `vf_pp.c`
- - `vf_pp7.c`
- - `vf_pullup.c`
- - `vf_sab.c`
- - `vf_smartblur.c`
- - `vf_repeatfields.c`
- - `vf_spp.c`
- - `vf_stereo3d.c`
- - `vf_super2xsai.c`
- - `vf_tinterlace.c`
- - `vf_uspp.c`
- - `vsrc_mptestsrc.c`
-
-Should you, for whatever reason, prefer to use version 3 of the (L)GPL, then
-the configure parameter `--enable-version3` will activate this licensing option
-for you. Read the file `COPYING.LGPLv3` or, if you have enabled GPL parts,
-`COPYING.GPLv3` to learn the exact legal terms that apply in this case.
-
-There are a handful of files under other licensing terms, namely:
-
-* The files `libavcodec/jfdctfst.c`, `libavcodec/jfdctint_template.c` and
- `libavcodec/jrevdct.c` are taken from libjpeg, see the top of the files for
- licensing details. Specifically note that you must credit the IJG in the
- documentation accompanying your program if you only distribute executables.
- You must also indicate any changes including additions and deletions to
- those three files in the documentation.
-* `tests/reference.pnm` is under the expat license.

-
-external libraries
-==================
-
-FFmpeg can be combined with a number of external libraries, which sometimes
-affect the licensing of binaries resulting from the combination.
-
-compatible libraries
---------------------
-
-The following libraries are under GPL:
-- frei0r
-- libcdio
-- librubberband
-- libutvideo
-- libvidstab
-- libx264
-- libx265
-- libxavs
-- libxvid
-
-When combining them with FFmpeg, FFmpeg needs to be licensed as GPL as well by
-passing `--enable-gpl` to configure.
-
-The OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0. That
-license is incompatible with the LGPL v2.1 and the GPL v2, but not with
-version 3 of those licenses. So to combine these libraries with FFmpeg, the
-license version needs to be upgraded by passing `--enable-version3` to configure.
-
-incompatible libraries
-----------------------
-
-The Fraunhofer AAC library and FAAC are under licenses which
-are incompatible with the GPLv2 and v3. We do not know for certain if their
-licenses are compatible with the LGPL.
-If you wish to enable these libraries, pass `--enable-nonfree` to configure.
-But note that if you enable any of these libraries the resulting binary will
-be under a complex license mix that is more restrictive than the LGPL and that
-may result in additional obligations. It is possible that these
-restrictions cause the resulting binary to be unredistributeable.
