Raw Normal View History

Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

mpv is a fork of mplayer2, which is a fork of MPlayer.
Copyright, LICENSE: switch to GPL version 2 or later Now that talloc has been removed, the license can be switched back to GPLv2+. Actually, there never was a GPLv2+ licensed MPlayer (fork or not) until now, but removal of some GPLv2-only code makes this possible now. Rewrite the Copyright file to explain the reasons for the licenses MPlayer and forks use. The old Copyright file didn't contain anything interesting anymore, and all information it contained is available at other places in the source tree. The reason for the license change itself is that it should improve interoperability with differently licensed code in general. This essentially reverts commit 1752808.

a copy of talloc (part of Samba), which is LGPLv3+, and the next compatible
license for this mix is GPLv3+.

2013-10-12 23:18:50 +00:00
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.

2015-07-24 21:53:31 +00:00
"v2.1+" in this context means "version 2.1 or later".

stream_smb: disable by default, mark as GPLv3 It seems libsmbclient has been GPLv3 for years. Also, it's certainly not LGPL (unlike some of its support libs like talloc). Thus, mpv built with Samba support is GPLv3. Disable it by default, so we don't have to go through the trouble to indicate the correct license in our output, and we don't trick people into distributing stuff under the wrong license.
2017-05-11 06:12:14 +00:00
Some libraries are GPLv2+ or GPLv3+ only. Building mpv with Samba support makes
it GPLv3+.
build: add preliminary LGPL mode See "Copyright" file for caveats. This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
2017-09-21 11:50:18 +00:00
mpv can be built as LGPLv3+ with the --enable-preliminary-lgpl3 configure
option. This is a very new switch and it hasn't been confirmed yet whether
really all GPL code is excluded (thus preliminary). In addition, it disables
a number of useful features, some of them quite central:
- no audio filtering, which breaks: --volume, --af, replaygain, pitch
correction, fine control about downmix/upmix/resampling behavior
- Linux X11 video output
- Linux audio output via ALSA (PulseAudio works)
- BSD audio output via OSS
- Linux hardware decoding (vaapi, vdpau)
- many builtin video filters (use libavfilter instead)
- automatic rotation and stereoscopic video handling
- Linux TV input
- the --frames option
- the add/cycle and sub-add/audio-add/sub-remove/audio-remove commands
- video format conversion (if not supported by the VO)
- minor features: jack, DVD, CDDA, SMB, CACA, legacy direct3d VO
Some of these will be fixed in the future. The lack of the add/cycle commands
makes this particularly useless for CLI mode, and most of the appeal of LGPL
is for libmpv anyway. Thus it's not recommended to build mpv CLI in LGPL mode
at all.

Source files with specific licenses:
Copyright: small updates The I binding was removed from input.conf (although it's probably not copyrightable, but still). bootstrap.py has a bunch of authors which probably make the licensing situation a pain - but it's not integral part of the build system or the source code, so it doesn't matter for a LGPL core. I checked and cleaned up the build system in the last few commits. There was the possibility that parts of it were based on actual code of the old "configure" file, in particular with the waftools/fragments/ files (it turned out some were, some even not covered by LGPL agreements). This was checked, so I'm confident only the commit mentioned in the Copyright file holds back proper LGPL licensing of it. (And I guess I have to wait for a reply.) I checked the English translations. There used to be help_mp-en.h (or help_mp.h earlier), which was part of the source code, and which contained most terminal and GUI messages. This was done for the purpose of localization, but all localizations were dropped at one point in mplayer2 development. At this point, the message defines were moved back to the source code. (While in the years before that, they were moved from the source code to the file where applicable.) I didn't check help_mp-en.h when it was merged back. There was the possibility that someone might have changed one of the English messages (i.e. added his copyright to it), which then was copied back to the source code, without accounting for that copyright. Upon checking the history now, it seems this didn't happen for any code that we want to relicense to LGPL (in fact, it happened to some messages in the DVD code only).

- etc/input.conf is LGPLv2.1+
etc/input.conf: change license to LGPL This file didn't have a license in the first place. The fact that this file was supposed to be a template, to be copied and modified by individual users, might weaken the assumption that it's GPL. (It was only later that mpv replaced the duplicate code in input.c with input.conf essentially.) All involved authors agreed to LGPL. On exception is an anonymous contribution in commit 116ca0c768219b. This "veal" could not be found. So the I key is noted as exception. input.conf does not support conditional guards, so I'm not sure what to do here. Either we could argue it's a joint work, or the fact that the I key won't work anyway with a LGPL mpv might count. etc/builtin.conf and etc/encoding-profiles.conf are mpv original things, written by developers who agreed to LGPL. So mark them as LGPL too.

In one case, someone who is unaccounted for changed a glyph in some trivial way; we simply replaced the glyph with another one in 1e4d3a2440e94 to avoid any potential problems (although that change was probably not copyrightable anyway).

msg.c/h: partially change license to LGPL msg.c is "partial" due to "michael", whose work can be changed to LGPL only once the core is LGPL. It's explained in the Copyright file. I prefer to do the relicensing incrementally (due to the overwhelming workload). Changing the license before that happens would be legally questionable, but nothing can stop us from essentially marking it as "will be LGPL". All authors have agreed to LGPL, with the following exceptions: 9df11ee8bf: the author (probably) didn't agree, but the line that is added is later fully removed. 35e90f1556: was not asked, but all iconv code was 100% removed from the mp_msg mechanism (we alwas require UTF-8 now). 4e4f3f806e: the change by michael. 50a86fcc34: the identify variable was move, and completely removed the latest in commit 48bd03dd91232. 1f6c494641: did not agree, but due to a major mp_msg change the added line became unnecessary and was removed. da63498bf9: was not reachable, but the MPlayer GUI is gone from mpv anyway (also commit fc4d6e617d8d removed these specific additions a long time ago).

cache: clarify that copyright will be changed to LGPL v2.1 if possible Clearly the licensing situation isn't confusing enough. I don't know why that guy insists on LGPLv3.
2017-05-11 15:02:43 +00:00
Some files are LGPLv3+. This is due to the contributions of a single developer
going by the SVN username "iive". The chosen license of this project is
LGPLv2.1+. The affected files will be changed to LGPLv2.1+ at the earliest
opportunity, for example if his contributions disappear by being replaced
or removed. All new contributions to these files are implied to be LGPLv2.1+.

audio/out: change license of some core files to LGPL All contributors of the current code have agreed. ao.c requires a "driver" entry for each audio output - we assume that if someone who didn't agree to LGPL added a line, it's fine for ao.c to be LGPL anyway. If the affected audio output is not disabled at compilation time, the resulting binary will be GPL anyway, and ootherwise the code is not included. The audio output code itself was inspired or partially copied from libao in 7a2eec4b59f4 (thus why MPlayer's audio code is named libao2). Just to be sure we got permission from Aaron Holtzman, Jack Moffitt, and Stan Seibert, who according to libao's SVN history and README are the initial author. (Something similar was done for libvo, although the commit relicensing it forgot to mention it.) 242aa6ebd40: anders mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing, but we got permission for this particular commit. 0ef8e555735: nick could not be reached, but the include statement was removed again anyway. 879e05a7c17: iive agreed to LGPL v3+ only, but this line of code was removed anyway, so ao_null.c can be LGPL v2.1+. 9dd8f241ac2: patch author could not be reached, but the corresponding code (old slave mode interface) was completely removed later.

af_format: change license to LGPL This case is a bit weird, because MPlayer certainly also has a file named af_format.c. Both appear to have the function of converting audio data between sample formats. However, mpv's af_format.c is a rewrite, and doesn't actually do conversion by itself. It's similar to vf_format.c, and forces the generic filter chain code to insert conversion filters, instead of doing conversion explicitly. mpv's current af_format.c started out as af_force.c in d9582ad0a41. It was renamed to af_format.c in e60b8f181d, while the old af_format.c was split into two new filters. In 943c785619 the filename was changed to af_format.c as well. The new af_format.c does not contain any libaf code, except for some potentially copy & pasted skeleton and boilerplate code. (We don't account for this in per-filter file licenses, as the old libaf code has to be removed fully, at which point the filters will have to be ported to another framework, which will removed that boilerplate code.) The old filters based on af_format.c were progressively replaced and removed. Support for non-native endian and formats with signedness different from native FFmpeg was completely removed in 831d7c3c400b. The old 24 bit conversion code was removed in 552dc0d564 (made unnecessary by 5a9f817bfde8). Also list hwdec_vaglx.c as GPL-only, which doesn't have anything to do with this commit.
