• Legal Issues with FFMPEG ? [closed]

  21 décembre 2011, par Jimmery

  Has anybody had any legal issues using FFMPEG in a commerical product, particularly from MPEG LA ?

  I only ask from reading the bottom of this page : http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html

  We are hoping to produce a website that uses FFMPEG (or similar program), currently the website will be free to use. However we do hope of monetizing aspects of the website later down the line, and wouldnt want to hit any legal issues at that point.

  If this is an issue, does anybody know of a good alternative to FFMPEG which does not have these legal issues ?

• Is there a "legal" review of FFmpeg contributions ?

  20 septembre 2011, par Ronopolis

  I can't find the answer to this at the FFmpeg website.

  If someone submits code to FFmpeg, is the code just reviewed for technical correctness, or is there also a (for lack of better words) legal review ? A review for any potential patent or copyright issues ? If someone contributes to FFmpeg, does the contributor need to sign any kind of "Contributors Statement" or disclaimer ?

• is it legal/free to use ffmpeg to decode wma/mms stream in a commercial ios app ? [on hold]

  12 mars 2014, par Greg314

  I've been looking for hours but can't find a simple answer to this question : is it legal/free to use ffmpeg to decode wma/mms stream in a commercial ios app ?

  the ffmpeg website clearly states there are legal issues http://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html

  some people say issues relate to AAC and H264 Licensing questions

  I just need to know if I can use ffmpeg freely to read wma (mms) stream in an ios app, or if I need to pay royalties to Microsoft for that (quite expensive : http://wmlicense.smdisp.net/filePU/WM%20Components%20Final%20Product%20Agreement%20-%20SAMPLE%20%20(10-05-2012).pdf)

  thanks for your help !
