I understand that can be time consuming, but I am not a lawyer and not going to give you legal advice, sorry.

That doesn't sound like you want GPL at all, which is a strong copyleft license that requires source and allows people to rebuild it. Support is a different story and not really tied to the license. josh > > > diff --git a/WHENCE b/WHENCE > > > index 31edbd4..fce2ef7 100644 > > > --- a/WHENCE > > > +++ b/WHENCE > > > @@ -4514,3 +4514,13 @@ File: meson/vdec/gxl_mpeg4_5.bin > > > File: meson/vdec/gxm_h264.bin > > > > > > Licence: Redistributable.
