--- Comment #1 from Pavel Alexeev <pahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
It is free software, but on offsite stated:
Licensing

The BPG decoding library uses a modified version of FFmpeg released under the
LGPL version 2.1 as HEVC decoder. The BPG decoding library excluding the FFmpeg
code is released under the BSD license.
The BPG encoder as a whole is released under the GPL version 2 license. The BPG
encoder sources excluding x265 are released under the BSD license. The x265
library is released under the GPL version 2 license. The optional JCTVC HEVC
reference encoder is released under the BSD license.
Some of the HEVC algorithms may be protected by patents in some countries (read
the FFmpeg Patent Mini-FAQ for more information). Most devices already include
or will include hardware HEVC support, so we suggest to use it if patents are
an issue.


Could you please revisit is it acceptable for inclusion?
