mpv as a whole is licensed as GPL version 2 or later (see LICENSE). Most source
|
|
|
|
files are GPLv2+, but some files are available under a more liberal license,
|
|
|
|
such as LGPLv2+, BSD, MIT, ISC, and possibly others. Look at the copyright
|
|
|
|
header of each source file, and grep the sources for "Copyright" if you need
|
|
|
|
to know details. Files without Copyright notice are licensed as LGPLv2+.

Note that mplayer2 as a whole is licensed under GPLv3+. This is because it uses
|
|
|
|
a copy of talloc (part of Samba), which is LGPLv3+, and the next compatible
|
|
|
|
license for this mix is GPLv3+.

MPlayer as a whole is licensed under GPLv2 (incompatible to GPLv3!), because
|
|
|
|
some files are licensed to GPLv2 (and _not_ any later version of the license).
|
|
|
|
In particular, this affects the file libmpdemux/demux_ty_osd.c. It is disabled
|
|
|
|
under mplayer2, and has been removed from mpv.
