   2 Disclaimer:  The GStreamer team makes a real effort to make sure that
   3 the information in this file is as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
   4 However, this file may contain errors and omissions.  Some dependant
   5 libraries change their licensing from version-to-version and some of
   6 the libraries listed here as LGPL were under the GPL license in
   7 older releases.  Distributions which include GStreamer are responsible
   8 for ensuring that plugins are used in accordance with licensing terms
   9 and other laws.

  11 GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for details).
  12 Some of our plugins however rely on libraries which are available under other
  13 licenses. This means that if you are using an application which has a non-GPL
  14 compatible license, for instance a closed-source application with GStreamer
  15 you have to make sure not to use GPL linked or derived plugins.  When using
  16 GPL linked plugins GStreamer is for all practical reasons under the GPL itself.
  17
  18 The plugins which use a GPL library are as follows:
