* See the file COPYING. ffmpeg and the associated library are licensed
under the GNU General Public License. I may change the license of
libavcodec and libav to LGPL if many people ask it (and if they
submit good patches!).
* See the file COPYING. ffmpeg and the associated library EXCEPT
liba52 are licensed under the Lesser GNU General Public
License. liba52 is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
* This code should be patent free since it is very simple. I took care
to use the same video encoder/decoder core for all formats to show
that they really ARE THE SAME except for the encoding huffman codes.
that they really are mostly the same.
