It also counts + as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence + the version number 2.1.] + + Preamble + + The licenses for most software are designed to take away your +freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public +Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change +free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. + + This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some +specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the +Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You +can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether +this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better +strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations +below. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, +not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that +you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge +for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get +it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of +it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do +these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these +rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for +you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis +or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave +you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source +code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide +complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them +with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling +it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. + + We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the +library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal +permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. + + To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that +there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is +modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know +that what they have is not the original version, so that the original +author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be +introduced by others. + + Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of +any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot +effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a +restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that +any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be +consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. + + Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the +ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser +General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and +is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use +this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those +libraries into non-free programs. + + When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using +a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a +combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary +General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the +entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General +Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with +the library. + + We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it +does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General +Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less +of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages +are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many +libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain +special circumstances. + + For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to +encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it +becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must +be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free +library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this +case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free +software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. + + In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free +programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of +free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in +non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU +operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating +system. + + Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the +users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is +linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run +that program using a modified version of the Library. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a +"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The +former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must +be combined with the library in order to run. + + GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other +program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or +other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of +this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). +Each licensee is addressed as "you". + + A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data +prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs +(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. + + The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work +which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the +Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under +copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a +portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated +straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is +included without limitation in the term "modification".) + + "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means +all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated +interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control +compilation and installation of the library. + + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from +such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based +on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for +writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does +and what the program that uses the Library does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's +complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that +you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an +appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact +all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any +warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the +Library. + + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, +and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a +fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) The modified work must itself be a software library. + + b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no + charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. + + d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a + table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses + the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility + is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, + in the event an application does not supply such function or + table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of + its purpose remains meaningful. + + (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has + a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the + application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any + application-supplied function or table used by this function must + be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square + root function must still compute square roots.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote +it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Library. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library +with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public +License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do +this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so +that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, +instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the +ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify +that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in +these notices. + + Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for +that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all +subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. + + This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of +the Library into a program that is not a library. + + 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or +derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form +under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany +it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which +must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a +medium customarily used for software interchange. + + If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy +from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the +source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to +distribute the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the +Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or +linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a +work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and +therefore falls outside the scope of this License. + + However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library +creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it +contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the +library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. +Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. + + When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file +that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a +derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. +Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be +linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The +threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. + + If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data +structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline +functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object +file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative +work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the +Library will still fall under Section 6.) + + Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may +distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. +Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, +whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. + + 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or +link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a +work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work +under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit +modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse +engineering for debugging such modifications. + + You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the +Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by +this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work +during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the +copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference +directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one +of these things: + + a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding + machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever + changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under + Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked + with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that + uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the + user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified + executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood + that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the + Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application + to use the modified definitions.) + + b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the + Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a + copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, + rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) + will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if + the user installs one, as long as the modified version is + interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. + + c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least + three years, to give the same user the materials specified in + Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of + performing this distribution. + + d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy + from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above + specified materials from the same place. + + e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these + materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. + + For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the +Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for +reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, +the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is +normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major +components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on +which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies +the executable. + + It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license +restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally +accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot +use both them and the Library together in an executable that you +distribute. + + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the +Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library +facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined +library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on +the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise +permitted, and provided that you do these two things: + + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the + Sections above. + + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. + + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute +the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any +attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or +distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your +rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses +terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the +Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Library or works based on it. + + 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the +Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library +subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with +this License. + + 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Library under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those +countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new +versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. +Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, +but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and +"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and +conditions either of that version or of any later version published by +the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a +license version number, you may choose any version ever published by +the Free Software Foundation. + + 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, +write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is +copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free +Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our +decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status +of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing +and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO +WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. +EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR +OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY +KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE +IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR +PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE +LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME +THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN +WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY +AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU +FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR +CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE +LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING +RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A +FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF +SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries + + If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest +possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that +everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting +redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms +of the ordinary General Public License). + + To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. +It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most +effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should +have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full +notice is found. + + + + Copyright (C) + + This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public + License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either + version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + + This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Because you see, in this world, there's two +kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig. +You dig. + +The Lowdown +----------- + + --- "I've never seen so many plug-ins wasted so badly." + +GStreamer Plug-ins has grown so big that it's hard to separate the wheat from +the chaff. Also, distributors have brought up issues about the legal status +of some of the plug-ins we ship. To remedy this, we've divided the previous +set of available plug-ins into four modules: + +- gst-plugins-base: a small and fixed set of plug-ins, covering a wide range + of possible types of elements; these are continuously kept up-to-date + with any core changes during the development series. + + - We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins. + - People writing elements should base their code on these elements. + - These elements come with examples, documentation, and regression tests. + +- gst-plugins-good: a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality + code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in + code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). + + - We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins. + - People writing elements should base their code on these elements. + +- gst-plugins-ugly: a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct + functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license + on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd + like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems. + + - Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins. + - People writing elements should base their code on these elements. + +- gst-plugins-bad: a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the + rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing + something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, + a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use. + If the blanks are filled in they might be upgraded to become part of + either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly, depending on the other factors. + + - If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the + problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you. + - New contributors can start here for things to work on. + +PLATFORMS +--------- + +- Linux is of course fully supported +- FreeBSD is reported to work; other BSDs should work too +- Solaris is reported to work; a specific sunaudiosink plugin has been written +- MacOSX works, binary 1.x packages can be built using the cerbero build tool +- Windows works; binary 1.x packages can be built using the cerbero build tool + - MSys/MinGW builds + - Microsoft Visual Studio builds are not yet available or supported +- Android works, binary 1.x packages can be built using the cerbero build tool +- iOS works + +INSTALLING FROM PACKAGES +------------------------ + +You should always prefer installing from packages first. GStreamer is +well-maintained for a number of distributions, including Fedora, Debian, +Ubuntu, Mandrake, Gentoo, ... + +Only in cases where you: +- want to hack on GStreamer +- want to verify that a bug has been fixed +- do not have a sane distribution +should you choose to build from source tarballs or git. + +Find more information about the various packages at +http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ + +COMPILING FROM SOURCE TARBALLS +------------------------------ + +- again, make sure that you really need to install from source ! + If GStreamer is one of your first projects ever that you build from source, + consider taking on an easier project. + +- check output of ./configure --help to see if any options apply to you +- run + ./configure + make + + to build GStreamer. +- if you want to install it (not required, but what you usually want to do), run + make install + +- try out a simple test: + gst-launch -v fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink + (If you didn't install GStreamer, prefix gst-launch with tools/) + + If it outputs a bunch of messages from fakesrc and fakesink, everything is + ok. + + If it did not work, keep in mind that you might need to adjust the + PATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to make the system + find GStreamer in the prefix where you installed (by default that is /usr/local). + +- After this, you're ready to install gst-plugins, which will provide the + functionality you're probably looking for by now, so go on and read + that README. + +COMPILING FROM GIT +------------------ + +When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate +the build system files. + +You will need a set of additional tools typical for building from git, +including: +- autoconf +- automake +- libtool + +autogen.sh will check for recent enough versions and complain if you don't have +them. You can also specify specific versions of automake and autoconf with +--with-automake and --with-autoconf + +Check autogen.sh options by running autogen.sh --help + +autogen.sh can pass on arguments to configure + +When you have done this once, you can use autoregen.sh to re-autogen with +the last passed options as a handy shortcut. Use it. + +After the autogen.sh stage, you can follow the directions listed in +"COMPILING FROM SOURCE" + +You can also run your whole git stack uninstalled in your home directory, +so that you can quickly test changes without affecting your system setup or +interfering with GStreamer installed from packages. Many GStreamer developers +use an uninstalled setup for their work. + +There is a 'create-uninstalled-setup.sh' script in + + http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/ + +to easily create an uninstalled setup from scratch. + + +PLUG-IN DEPENDENCIES AND LICENSES +--------------------------------- + +GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for +details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available +under other licenses. This means that if you are distributing an application +which has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source +application) with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to distribute GPL-linked +plug-ins. + +When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons +under the GPL itself. + +HISTORY +------- + +The fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate +Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins that +will provide the various codec and other functionality. The interface +hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) to release +binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and release the +source. diff --git a/common/README.static-linking b/common/README.static-linking new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6d8299b --- /dev/null +++ b/common/README.static-linking @@ -0,0 +1,174 @@ +================================= + GStreamer Static Linking README +================================= + +DRAFT, April 2013 + + + I. INTRODUCTION + +It is possible to link GStreamer libraries, plugins and applications +statically, both in case of free/libre/open-source software applications +and proprietary applications. On some platforms static linking may even +be required. + +However, distributing statically linked binaries using GStreamer usually +requires additional effort to stay compliant with the GNU LGPL v2.1 license. + +The purpose of this document is to draw attention to this fact, and to +summarise in layman's terms what we believe is required from anyone +distributing statically linked GStreamer binaries. Most of this also +applies to dynamically linked GStreamer binaries. + + + II. DISCLAIMER + +This document is not legal advice, nor is it comprehensive. It may use +words in ways that do not match the definition or use in the license +text. It may even be outright wrong. Read the license text for all the +details, it is the only legally binding document in this respect. + +This document is primarily concerned with the implications for the +distribution of binaries based on LGPL-licensed software as imposed by +the LGPL license, but there may be other restrictions to the distribution +of such binaries, such as terms and conditions of distribution channels +(e.g. "app stores"). + + + III. THE SPIRIT OF THE LGPL LICENSE + +The GNU LGPL v2.1 license allows use of such-licensed software by +proprietary applications, but still aims to ensure that at least the +LGPL-licensed software parts remain free under all circumstances. This +means any changes to LGPL-licensed source code must be documented and +be made available on request to those who received binaries of the +software. It also means that it must be possible to make changes to the +LGPL-licensed software parts and make the application use those, as far +as that is possible. And that recipients of an application using +LGPL-licensed software are made aware of their rights according to the +LGPL license. + +In an environment where GStreamer libraries and plugins are used as +dynamically-loaded shared objects (DLL/.so/.dyn files), this is usually +not a big problem, because it is fairly easy to compile a modified version +of the GStreamer libraries or LGPL plugins, and the application will/should +just pick up and use the modified version automatically. All that is needed +is for the original, LGPL-licensed source code and source code modifications +to be made available, and for a way to build the libraries or plugins for +the platform required (usually that will be using the build system scripts +that come with GStreamer, and using the typical build environment on the +system in question, but where that is not the case the needed build scripts +and/or tools would need to be provided as well). + + + IV. THINGS YOU NEED TO DO + + * You must tell users of your application that you are using LGPL-licensed + software, which LGPL-licensed software exactly, and you must provide them + with a copy of the license so they know their rights under the LGPL. + + * You must provide (on request) all the source code and all the changes + or additions you have made to the LGPL-licensed software you are using. + + For GStreamer code we would recommend that the changes be provided either + in form of a branch in a git repository, or as a set of "git format-patch"- + style patches against a GStreamer release or a snapshot of a GStreamer git + repository. The patches should ideally say what was changed and why it + was changed, and there should ideally be separate patches for independent + changes. + + * You must provide a way for users of your application to make changes to + the LGPL-licensed parts of the code, and re-create a full application + binary with the changes (using the standard toolchain and tools of the + target platform; if you are using a custom toolchain or custom tools + you must provide these and document how to use them to create a new + application binary). + + Note that this of course does not mean that the user is allowed to + re-distribute the changed application. Nor does it mean that you have + to provide your proprietary source code - it is sufficient to provide a + ready-made compiled object file that can be relinked into an application + binary with the re-compiled LGPL components. + + + V. THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR + +While most GStreamer plugins and the libraries they depend on are licensed +under the LGPL or even more permissive licenses, that is not the case for +all plugins and libraries used, esp. those in the gst-plugins-ugly or +some of those in the gst-plugins-bad set of plugins. + +When statically linking proprietary code, care must be taken not to +statically link plugins or libraries that are licensed under less permissive +terms than the LGPL, such as e.g. GPL-licensed libraries. + + + VI. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR SPECIFIC USE-CASES + + + 1. Proprietary GStreamer/GLib-based Application On iOS + +Let's assume an individual or a company wants to distribute a proprietary +iOS application that is built on top of GStreamer and GLib through +Apple's App Store. At the time of writing the Apple iPhone developer +agreement didn’t allow the bundling of shared libraries, so distributing +a proprietary iOS application with shared libraries is only possible using +distribution mechanisms outside of the App Store and/or only to jailbroken +devices, a prospect that may not appeal to our individual or company. So the +only alternative then is to link everything statically, which means the +obligations mentioned above come into play. + + + 2. Example: Jabber on iOS + +Tandberg (now Cisco) created a Jabber application for iOS, based on GStreamer. +On request they provided an LGPL compliance bundle in form of a zip file, with +roughly the following contents: + +buildapp.sh +readme.txt +Jabber/Jabber-Info.plist +Jabber/libip.a [236MB binary with proprietary code] +Jabber/main.mm +Jabber/xcconfig/Application.xcconfig +Jabber/xcconfig/Debug.xcconfig +Jabber/xcconfig/Release.xcconfig +Jabber/xcconfig/Shared.xcconfig +Jabber/Resources/*.lproj/Localizable.strings +Jabber/Resources/{Images,Audio,Sounds,IB,Message Styles,Emoticons,Fonts}/* +Jabber/Resources/* +Jabber.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj +Jabber.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/contents.xcworkspacedata +opensource/build/config.site +opensource/build/m4/movi.m4 +opensource/build/scripts/clean-deps.sh +opensource/build/scripts/fixup-makefile.sh +opensource/build/scripts/MoviMaker.py +opensource/build.sh +opensource/env.sh +opensource/Makefile +opensource/external/glib/* +opensource/external/gstreamer/{gstreamer,gst-plugins-*}/* +opensource/external/openssl/* +opensource/external/proxy-libintl/* +opensource/toolchain/darwin-x86/bin/{misc autotoools,m4,glib-mkenums,glib-genmarshal,libtool,pkg-config,etc.} +opensource/toolchain/darwin-x86/share/{aclocal,aclocal-1.11,autoconf,automake-1.11,libtool}/* +opensource/toolchain/darwin-x86/share/Config.pm +opensource/toolchain/darwin-x86/share/Config.pm.movi.in +patches/glib/glib.patch +patches/gst-plugins-bad/gst-plugins-bad.patch +patches/gst-plugins-base/gst-plugins-base.patch +patches/gst-plugins-good/gst-plugins-good.patch +patches/gstreamer/gstreamer.patch +patches/openssl/openssl.patch + +readme.txt starts with "This Readme file describes how to build the Cisco +Jabber for iPad application.

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CREATE_STDINT_H [( HEADER-TO-GENERATE [, HEDERS-TO-CHECK])]
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   the "ISO C9X: 7.18 Integer types " section requires the
+#   existence of an include file  that defines a set of
+#   typedefs, especially uint8_t,int32_t,uintptr_t. Many older
+#   installations will not provide this file, but some will have the
+#   very same definitions in . In other enviroments we can
+#   use the inet-types in  which would define the typedefs
+#   int8_t and u_int8_t respectivly.
+#
+#   This macros will create a local "_stdint.h" or the headerfile given
+#   as an argument. In many cases that file will just "#include
+#   " or "#include ", while in other environments
+#   it will provide the set of basic 'stdint's definitions/typedefs:
+#
+#     int8_t,uint8_t,int16_t,uint16_t,int32_t,uint32_t,intptr_t,uintptr_t
+#     int_least32_t.. int_fast32_t.. intmax_t
+#
+#   which may or may not rely on the definitions of other files, or
+#   using the AC_CHECK_SIZEOF macro to determine the actual sizeof each
+#   type.
+#
+#   if your header files require the stdint-types you will want to
+#   create an installable file mylib-int.h that all your other
+#   installable header may include. So if you have a library package
+#   named "mylib", just use
+#
+#        AX_CREATE_STDINT_H(mylib-int.h)
+#
+#   in configure.ac and go to install that very header file in
+#   Makefile.am along with the other headers (mylib.h) - and the
+#   mylib-specific headers can simply use "#include " to
+#   obtain the stdint-types.
+#
+#   Remember, if the system already had a valid , the
+#   generated file will include it directly. No need for fuzzy
+#   HAVE_STDINT_H things... (oops, GCC 4.2.x has deliberatly disabled
+#   its stdint.h for non-c99 compilation and the c99-mode is not the
+#   default. Therefore this macro will not use the compiler's stdint.h
+#   - please complain to the GCC developers).

+dnl
+dnl This macro adds a command line argument to allow the user to enable
+dnl or disable a feature, and if the feature is enabled, performs a supplied
+dnl test to check if the feature is available.
+dnl
+dnl The test should define HAVE_ to "yes" or "no" depending
+dnl on whether the feature is available.
+dnl
+dnl The macro will set USE_ to "yes" or "no" depending on
+dnl whether the feature is to be used.
+dnl Thomas changed this, so that when USE_ was already set
+dnl to no, then it stays that way.
+dnl
+dnl The macro will call AM_CONDITIONAL(USE_, ...) to allow
+dnl the feature to control what is built in Makefile.ams.  If you want
+dnl additional actions resulting from the test, you can add them with the
+dnl ACTION-IF-USE and ACTION-IF-NOTUSE parameters.
+dnl
+dnl FEATURE-NAME        is the name of the feature, and should be in
+dnl                     purely upper case characters.
+dnl FEATURE-DESCRIPTION is used to describe the feature in help text for
+dnl                     the command line argument.
+dnl DEPENDENT-PLUGINS   lists any plug-ins which depend on this feature.
+dnl TEST-FOR-FEATURE    is a test which sets HAVE_ to "yes"
+dnl                     or "no" depending on whether the feature is
+dnl                     available.
+dnl DISABLE-BY-DEFAULT  if "disabled", the feature is disabled by default,
+dnl                     if any other value, the feature is enabled by default.
