- Licensing
- =========
-
- The upstream license clarifies pretty well that the sources of pulseaudio are
- LGPL (please see LGPL license grant below), but that some parts will be
- effectively GPL since they rely on GPL libraries, quoting the upstream
- LICENSE:
-
- """All PulseAudio source files are licensed under the GNU Lesser General
- Public License. (see file LGPL for details)
-
- However, the server side links to the GPL-only library 'libsamplerate'
- which practically downgrades the license of the server part to GPL (see
- file GPL for details), exercising section 3 of the LGPL.
-
- Hence you should treat the client library ('libpulse') of PulseAudio as
- being LGPL licensed and the server part ('libpulsecore') as being GPL
- licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon and the modules link to
- 'libpulsecore' they are of course also GPL licensed.
-
- -- Lennart Poettering, April 20th, 2006."""
-
- However, it should be noted that the file src/pulsecore/g711.c is public
- domain with the following disclaimer:
-
