The VideoLAN Forums

Hello, I have used the VLC for android source code for one if my apps, and integrated not only libvlc, but also vlc-android project (the player). I would like to know how should I use it in order not to break the license agreements stipulated at videolan.org.

the vlc-android player is under GPLv3, aka completely open source and applications should be open source too.

libvlc is LGPL, so it does not have those restrictions.

If you are using https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android, then it's under GPLv2 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... er/COPYING.

It is GPLv3 because we link in other libraries with licenses like the Apache License.
