Hello All,

I was wondering why the "gstreamer-1.0-omx" recipe has
LICENSE_FLAGS="commercial", although gst-omx has LGPLv2.1 license as
mentioned in the source code ?

This puzzled me too. Its been in the recipe since it was imported from
a layer which is no longer available on github.

My guess is that its a copy and paste error from the ugly plugins
recipe. As far as I know, OpenMax is royalty and patent free so this
probably shouldn't be there.

I'd suggest sending a patch to removing it, containing this information
and if nobody objects we can remove it. It would need to go to the
openembedded-core mailing list.

Cheers,

Richard
