[MPlayer-dev-eng] MEncoder license inquiry

[yichun.huang at kodak.com]

Hi MPlayer team,

I'm the developer of MediaCoder (http://mediacoder.sf.net), an audio/video 
transcoder software which uses MEncoder as video encoder. MediaCoder is 
made up of a GUI application and a library. The library is the glue to put 
together all of the decoders, encoders (including MEncoder, which is also 
the most important one) and tools it supports and let them work together. 
MediaCoder is distributed under GPL license. Recently I'm going to make a 
branch of current MediaCoder source code tree to make a new library (still 
open-source) for use in a commercial software (part of it will be 
closed-source). I want to know if this action is permitted or is it 
possible for me to be granted the right to do this? Looking forward for 
your reponse.

Regards,

Stanley
