• Electron, Chromium and ffmpeg licencing confusion [closed]

  12 mars 2021, par Iamisti

  Intro :
Recently I'm working on an electron based application that is free to use but also has subscription based services.
It came to my attention that ffmpeg is shipped with electron, which has GPL/LGPL licence.

  


  My quetion is :

  


  

  • Am I legally able to still distribute the application and be licence-compliant with ffmpeg without owning any proper licence to it ? I thought chromium dealt with the licencing on this topic since so many applications nowadays are shipped with using electron and chromium under the hood.

  


  • How do I compile/build electron to make it licence compatible (in case its not ?)

  


  


  I did a lot of reseearch and I found out the followings :

  


  


  • ffmpeg is shipped with chromium, they built their own version of ffmpeg and it seems they also have licence for it. Although that might be that they just push the responsibility down on the software developer/company who distributes their application with chromium.
Chromium licence for ffmpeg : https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/third_party/ffmpeg/+/703e920bb75053bf6b87d41d198cbbfbce3fb7ad/LICENSE

    


  


  • Apparently ffmpeg has a checklist of how to be licence compliant. Does that mean if I do all these steps, I can still distribute the application and can legally use it ? Licence checklist for ffmpeg : http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html

    


  


  • checking out some popular electron applications like Discord, Figma, Slack, etc... they ALL have ffmpeg included cause of electron when you install them. I wonder how they made it legal ? I don't see any of these checklists done on any of these popular applications.

    


  


  


  I'm know very little regarding licences, so any help would be incredibly huge help for me.

  


• Video Codec For Commercial Use [on hold]

  17 décembre 2015, par mFeinstein

  I am new in video programming and I need to make a commercial application that needs to export some video. I was going to use OpenCV, but the documentation says it can’t write a video larger than 2Gb and that’s not something that my project can tolerate.

  I have an industrial camera and I will receive each frame of the camera in my C++ code and I want to transform the frames in a video. So far I am thinking about using FFmpeg for the video generation, but I am afraid of all these patented codecs.

  Are there any codecs that are free for commercial use ?

  Edit :

  Some are flaging this post as not related to programing or opinion based.

  1. I am not asking for an opinion, but a list of commercial free codecs. I am not asking which are good or bad (which is opinion based) I just can’t find a list online.

  2. This is about programing, there are lots of posts here in SO about legal issues on software like licensing, there is even one with a "legal" tag. I found many posts related to codecs licenses but none with a list of free ones. Of course this is programing related, I will develop and architecture my code around my options.
