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 These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful.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.

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,

All new contributions must be LGPLv2.1+ licensed, or if the changes are done on
GPL code, must come with the implicit agreement that the project can relicense
the code to LGPLv2.1+ at a later point without asking the contributor. (This
is a safeguard for making potential relicensing of the project to LGPLv2.1+

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.

"v2.1+" in this context means "version 2.1 or later".
Copyright: list specific exceptions to stated rules The "Files without Copyright notice are licensed as LGPLv2.1+." statement makes it sound like the manpage and some other stuff are LGPL. But the rule actually affects only some source files that were added in mpv. Change the wording, and also explicitly list the licenses for some non source files. There might be more such cases.

Source files with specific licenses:
- everything under etc/ is unknown
- everything under DOCS/man/ is GPLv2+
Copyright: change osd font license to LGPL All controbutors have agreed. 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).
