Hello, We are trying to redistribute a ffmpeg binary commercially. We use free version for generally decoding video only(some demuxing). We want to use nvidia's suggestion of using the GPU with ffmpeg. They give a sample configure string like so: ./configure --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvdec --enable-nvenc --enable-nonfree --enable-libnpp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/cuda/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib64
In here we notice --enable-nonfree which basically means we can't give ffmpeg commerically right? Well looking into this legal wise... If we get NVidia's written consent that a lawyer can use in a court of law, alter configure script to say libnpp is not considered "non-free" and ditch that string would it be okay? NVidia seems to advocate for FFmpeg use. If its not permissible, then would it make sense to just use opencv's implementation of ffmpeg which then advertises a completely different license(Apache). Looking for serious answers with out sarcasm, insults, or claims of simplicity. Thanks! _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
