The modified code of the mplayer will be released under the GPL. But I have one question about codec library. If I write a library for a hardware device which can be used to control the hardware device commonly and which can also be used with mplayer, is it released under the GPL license?

this is up to the author, but read below

In my situation, I can not open the control code of the hardware device. If I must release the hardware codec library under the GPL license, I should rethink using mplayer code. Should I implement whole things? well.. get permission from my boss???

the point is that if your library isn't gpl-compatible you can't distribute mplayer (that is gpl) with it

Let me know the right solution about this situation, please. Thank you.

easy: write your library as gpl
