**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 04 03:06:25 2020 Jun 04 04:52:39 khem: kergoth: you can probably do it from anonymous python, but I'd rather not contemplate that too much Jun 04 11:13:43 hmm, I am building x265 from meta-multimedia and I am a bit confused about the warning: "x265 was skipped: because it has a restricted license 'commercial'.", shouldnt x265 be GPLv2 by default? Jun 04 11:15:54 and the second thing that now confused me even more: COMPATIBLE_HOST = '(x86_64|i.86).*-linux' - its not buildable for arm? Jun 04 15:07:58 Jin^eLD: the compatible host is likely old, should be able to remove it Jun 04 15:08:44 and the license thing is because its a h265 encoder, which potentially has patent implications I Am Not A Laywer etc etc Jun 04 15:09:25 'The first 100,000 "devices" (which includes software implementations) are royalty free, and after that the fee is $0.20 per device up to an annual cap of $25 million' Jun 04 15:09:26 any h.2* encoder may have patent issues.. so should always be reviewed by the user... Jun 04 15:09:54 'As of April 2019, the MPEG LA HEVC patent list is 164 pages long.' Jun 04 15:10:13 oh to be an IP lawyer $$$$ Jun 04 15:11:38 yup.. I see h.* or MPEG and simply go somewhere else for anything commercial -- or go to a lawyer.. not worth my time to assume anything but encumbered Jun 04 15:19:34 rburton: I looked at their page and it seemed that the GPLv2 version is "free" but a commercial license could be bought Jun 04 15:19:43 so I guess I missed that part with the first 100k devices... Jun 04 15:19:57 source licensing is unrelated to patent licensing Jun 04 15:20:02 aha Jun 04 15:20:03 ya, remember GPLv2 doesn't cover patents in any way.. so anything MPEG/h.* is always suspect Jun 04 15:20:19 ok, I think I understand now Jun 04 15:20:33 because otherwise I could not connet the two dots of "gpl" and "commercial" :) Jun 04 15:20:34 I would set the software license to GPLv2, but also set the commercial flag myself.. (and a comment in the code that it is likely to be patent encumbered) Jun 04 15:20:57 it's the last bit, the comment that usually doesn't see to be present when I've looked.. which leads to your question(s) Jun 04 15:21:37 yes, I saw "license flag" and did not think into the patent direction at all Jun 04 15:22:16 fray: recipe has LICENSE = "GPLv2" Jun 04 15:22:16 LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial" Jun 04 15:22:31 it does look confusing, doesnt it? :) Jun 04 15:22:35 yes, a comment and link to the relevant page would be sensible Jun 04 15:22:49 Jin^eLD: makes perfect sense when you understnad that license flags isn't source licensing ;) Jun 04 15:22:57 ;) Jun 04 15:23:52 hm, why does the resulting ffmpeg ipk on poky include source files? /usr/share/ffmpeg/examples/*.c ? Jun 04 15:33:28 I remember someone saying that legal departments at some Linux companies have calendars with list of patent expiration dates Jun 04 15:34:11 to be sure when they can be finally used in foss Jun 04 15:38:10 :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jun 05 02:59:57 2020
