FFmpeg licensing issue
Hi I have a query on last question:http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/legal.php Q: Since FFmpeg is licensed under the LGPL, is it perfectly all right to incorporate the whole FFmpeg core into my own commercial product? It is clear that we need to pay for a commercial product. What is the % of the amount to pay? And is MPEG-LA the only authority to pay? With Best Regards suryya

Depending on your commercial product I believe you have to look whom to pay and what % to pay. MPEG-LA is not the only authority to pay but at it is mentioned they are most vigilant :-) -- Sincerely, Aritrim Basu Freelance Software Developer and Web Designer 91 33 39584140

The purpose of MPEG-LA is to be a one-stop place to pay your MPEG fees. Check out http://mpegla.com for more authoritative information than we can offer. -- -Mike Melanson

id say ask a lawyer not mpeg-la or us, we have no clue and mpeg-la will probably claim that you need to pay them even if theres no legal basis for it in your country or with the codec you use [...] -- Michael
