libvlc bindings moving to LGPL?

Postby geoffs » 12 Apr 2012 20:27

Now that libvlc is released under the LGPL, is there an effort to change the license of the python and java bindings? It seems natural that they use the same license as libvlc itself, but everything in their git repos appears to still be GPL: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings ... ;a=summary and java http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings ... ;a=summary

With the agreement of the other authors (including Geoff :-), I have updated the license for the bindings. They are now LGPL2.1+. The module generator remains under GPL2+.
