Hello-

I didn't know that GPLv2 only was a problem for code on Savannah. You can remove this request then- I cannot fix the fact that that code is GPLv2 only as the author cannot be contacted.

Thanks for the review of the code though we will fix the other license issues.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello,

I reviewed your project submission and found five offending files.

Three of them are MAKEFILES. They are non-trivial and therefore we ask you to add a copyright&license statement on top of them. A simple all-permissive license will suffice.

Some files say:
"See the GNU General Public License for more details."
when the file is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.


But the remaining two files, namely ov511-decomp.c and ov518-decomp.c are licensed under GPLv2 only. This means they cannot be hosted on Savannah at all, not even as external helper, and a solution has to be found for this first.

Registration Details


  • Name: libv4l
  • System Name:  libv4l
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License (We have a few tools that are GPL in the repository also.)





Description:

libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction layer on top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without having to write separate code for different devices in the same class. libv4l consists of 3 different libraries:
libv4lconvert, libv4l1 and libv4l2.

libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known) pixelformat to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420.

libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many v4l2 drivers do not).

libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding for the application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary.


Other Software Required:

No library dependencies. General dependencies on GCC, etc.
