Hello, We are developing a video ingestion,live-stream, playback, and analytics service. We are planning to use FFmpeg as a core component of our video encoding pipeline. Our system will involve live streaming from various cameras, storing the video data (potentially on-premise or on cloud), and enabling features like video playback and advanced analytics. We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide information on the following: * FFmpeg Licensing: * What are the licensing terms and conditions for using FFmpeg in our commercial video service? * Are there any specific restrictions or limitations related to our use case? * Obtaining a License: * How can we obtain the necessary licenses for commercial use of FFmpeg in our code/product?

Have you read https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html ? That should answer many of the questions. In general, if you do not _distribute_ code based on ffmpeg, but only use it "in-house", you can do whatever you want with it (that is, if it's part of your company's internal process but never sent to customers). Later, z! not a lawyer/solicitor
