I think there was general consensus to make gstreamer
a external download dependency. As of this date, this has not yet been folded in. Who can take point on that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [hidden email] For additional commands, e-mail: [hidden email] |
Why? The licence for GStreamer is LGPL, which is Category X.

All this was discussed in:

I thought the "external download dependency" you were talking about, meant
distribution of GStreamer with an AOO release, which is not allowed. Building against GStreamer header files, and then only linking to the GStreamer libraries on the end user's system, if present, sounds allowed ("Can Apache projects rely on components under prohibited licenses" on https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html) On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 7:22 PM, Jim Jagielski <[hidden email]> wrote: > All this was discussed in: > > https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/83231a4ff938cdd14c19a01d4ae4f8 > d185ff7a94e0fc7d47a3b1b7f6@%3Cdev.openoffice.apache.org%3E > > I don't recall you bringing all this up there. > > > On Mar 14, 2018, at 12:03 PM, Damjan Jovanovic <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > > > Why?

I thought we do not bundle it, but internally provide for build convenience.

Yes, that was my thought as well... We do not bundle it, but
our build system allows for it to be downloaded and built during the whole build process, just as we do w/ loads of other dependencies. As long as we don't bundle it, and as long as it is not a *hard* dependency, it's not an issue. > On Mar 15, 2018, at 3:04 AM, Peter Kovacs <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I thought we do not bundle it, but internally provide for build convenience. > > Am 14.
