[Libav-user] About rm/rmvb license

[siqiao chen]

Hi:
    Libavcodec is a free LGPL library. If I recall correctly, you can link
to a library which released under LGPL license without running into any
legal issue. However you can not release a modified version of that library
without releasing the source code.
    Hope this could help...
                                                   Philip
