allwinner-zh / media-codec-lib Goto Github PK

libdecoder.so and libencoder.so are infringing on the GPL, there is GPL source code within them. This rquires that both libencoder and libdecoder.so be open source themselves.

I suggest to put the full source code of these libraries in the media-codec repository, and delete this repostiory.

Please remove the current precompiled binaries libvdecoder.so and libvencoder.so from the tree, and make sure it can be rebuilt from the supplied sources.

libcedar_plugin_venc.so has dependency on libcedar_base.so, libcedar_common.so and libcedar_vencoder.so. This cause linker problem when allwinner's media-codec is not compiled as shared library.
