[CentOS] Can we use gstreamer bad, ugly and ffmpeg packages ( installed using binary rpms) without any legal problems
Hi We are using centos 5.3 Operating system. It comes with basic gstreamer setup including gstreamer, gstreamer-tools, gstreamer-plugins-base and gstreamer-plugins-good packages. To support different media formats we had to install gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg from third party repository like rpmfusion as centos repository is not providing these packages. My question is, Can we use these packages ( bad, ugly and ffmpeg) without any legal or licensing issues? If No, Please tell the legal way of using them. thanks G Praveen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So, speak to your lawyer. (S)He's the person who will need to prep your legal case should it ever come to that. - KB
