VLC licensing terms

[charlest]

What are the licensing terms, if I've included VLC as part of the solution to my clients?

Note that, I've not modified the VLC source code.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Just conform to the GPL.

In short: If your client needs the source, you HAVE to give them. You can't limitate their use of the software and you have to respect our copyrights.

When you mentioned the "source", I'm assuming the source of VideoLan.
Am I correct?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Well, yes, I meant source code of "VLC media player"

Thanks for your reply.

I wonder if I've to made my software open source if I decided to invoke calls to VLC modules? If so, where do I submit my source to?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Depends on how you 'call' VLC and how you build your application.

If so, anywhere accessible.

If possible, I would like to embed VLC within my app.
In this case, do I have to open source my app?

[funman]
