Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that this is really a relaxation of the license for the plugins, and not so much for either GStreamer or Elisa. So naturally it falls to Fluendo (owner of the plugins) to do that. For a hypothetical non-GPL plugin X, it would be up to X's owner to say "yeah, you can distribute this with GStreamer all you want, even though it's not GPL". regards, tom lane -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
