Clarification for License of mp4v2 about mp4v2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It should all be MPL 1.1. I believe that KB added the license file with the new 
build system. It needs to 
be changed.

Ok thanks. Will it be possible to release mp4v2 as GPL and LGPL similar to how 
some
Mozilla projects are released as MPL/GPL/LGPL? This could make it possible to 
use
mp4v2 in GPLed projects.

I'm not really in a position to change the license. It has to stay with what 
Cisco set it as originally AFAIK.

Is there a way somebody can politely ask them if mp4v2 could be released under
different terms?

Hi - original developer.  Cisco is not interested in changing - I no longer 
work there, and there is nobody there 
to follow up on it.  

I would recommend you releasing your code having to download this library 
first, instead of integrating it into 
your project.  Or making it separate enough that it appears as a system type 
library.

Patch to fix COPYING to reflect reality.

It has been changed to be MPL.

Note that Cisco is changing to using MIT or BSD licenses, however as 
[email protected] points out it is 
tricky to find someone to authorize the change.

I have also since left Cisco, which makes it a bit harder for me as well.
