-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.
